Bio

This is about my mom who lives in FL and was diagnosed with stage 4 from a mammogram. The mass on her breast came back positive for melanoma. She goes yearly for her mammogram but also had a rather large cyst like bump on her back that when biopsied came back as melanoma. After having CT scan and MRI it showed she has several spots through her whole body. One small brain tumor which she underwent stereotactic radiation and will folllow up with another scan on Dec 13 to see how that looks.
