Bio

American married to a Canadian and living working here for 30 years. I live near Lake Erie, I’m a Ginger and grew up when a sunburn was a badge of honor. I live in Haldimand county where the incidence of Melanoma is 3 times the national average and I grew up in Niagara Falls New York. In some was I believe I was destined to walk this road.

Update, In October of 2018 I found a lump in the groin where I had the RLND in 2010. It was removed on January 7th as was an enlarged node in the iliac area. A PLND was done as well. Against all odds all lymph nodes were negative ! I will be starting Opdivo in February .
