Bio

My older brother was diagnosed with melanoma in 2008, got it again in 2010 and then in Sept. 2014 he was diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma spread to liver and other internal tumours. I am now waiting for a Gene related cancer check in our BC Cancer Clinic, should be heading to the clinic sometime in Jan of 2016. I wasn’t a sun worshiper, I did have my times of sunbathing, but I was more likely to be the one working, gardening, that type of stuff in the sun. I was a smokers but quit 22 years ago. I eat well, and take lots of natural supplements. I use the sun bed many years ago but only a couple of times. But I did use it again the year before I was diagnosed as we went to Mexico so I wanted a base tan. Then when I returned from trip I kept using the tanning both to keep my tan, and a Year later I was diagnose with Melanoma.
