Melanoma is a evil devil. My Mom was blessed to have successful surgery on her right elbow last year to remove a melanoma...she has been fighting squamous cell skin cancer for many years. Both she and I spent way too many hours in the sun when we were young teaching swimming...it catches up with you when you get older. Know the symptoms, as skin cancer (an melanoma is the malicious one) can strike at any time. Take a moment to read about it...you may save a life. http://www.medicinenet.com/skin_cancer/article.htm
