Carolyn from BC Canada

Hi Don,

Maybe you should come to BC. lol

I grew up in Saskatchewan. Hot summers, out all day, no sunscreen, suntanned with baby oil. That sort of thing. But I haven't been out in the sun since I was pregnant with my son 16 years ago. Can't tolerate the heat. So everyone was surprised I got melanoma. Especially on my leg. I don't think my legs have ever been darder than white. So go figure. I feel very lucky indeed.

If you'd like to talk more, contact me via e-mail: [email protected] or I have a facebook page – Dodged a Bullet – Fight Against Melanoma. There are lots of great links on there plus wonderful people who are an amazing support system. I also have a link on there to my blog.

Hi Tracey,

I'm sorry to hear about your husband.

I'm open to the idea of meeting you for coffee. Why don't you e-mail me at: [email protected] and I'll pass on my phone number or you can give me yours and we can arrange something.

I also have a facebook page called: Dodged a Bullet – Fight Against Melanoma. I have a blog called the same thing – the link is on my facebook page.

The page has a lot of useful links and information and it connects many others of us that have this common tragedy.

Thank you for the positive wishes. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you so much for this helpful information. I signed up right away. I hope to learn a lot listening to Dr. Smylie – I've been hearing so much about him lately. I couldn't believe to also hear about this even – talking about fate – just as I'm searching for answers. I just have to find someone to go with me. My husband is "too busy". I'm hoping he rethinks that. I need all the support I can get and it's good for him to hear the same info.

Cheers!!

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your kind reply and good advice about CT scans. That was my question: shoud I be followed up with a CT scan. I thought I should at least have a baseline.

Also as far as I know we don't have a "melanoma specialist" in Kelowna. I have to keep searching.
