Bio

Sixty-nine retired woman, living alone with small spaniel. I was never one to be out in the sun after the elusive tan, after my teenage baby oil days. I did have a bad, blistering sunburn as a teenager while on vacation in Florida over fifty years ago and always watched my freckles and moles. This started as a tiny freckle that grew into what I thought was an atypical mole over a period of four weeks. It started to evolve and then became raised. That’s when I went to the Dr. who did a biopsy the next week. Over all it took about ten weeks to get to the biopsy point.
