Bio

My 55 yo husband is a veterinarian. He noticed a rough, raised spot on his arm some time in 2006 that he decided to remove by himself. 4 years later he noticed a lump in the same spot. Removal of the primary in this fashion made staging difficult. He has spent most of his life in the hay fields in full sun or driving with his left arm hung out the window.
We have 7 children ranging in age from 11 to 32 years old (1 girl, 6 boys). The 5 youngest were foster care placements that we adopted. Currently have living at home the 11 yo girl, 14, 15 and 17 yo boys.
