Bio

I am a wife of 15 years and a mother to three. I was diagnosed in august with stage 4 melanoma. I had a mole since my teenage years that was always big and abnormal and asked for years what it was. No one gave me an answer until august 2019. It was bleeding in may and by the time august came around I was puking like I had a stomach flu but later found out I had a mass that was named melanoma. It’s been a fun ride.
