Bio

I’m a 29 year old female. My mom is 59. She had a mole ripped off her cheek as a child. It returned as an adult and she had the then raised and irregular and occasionally bleeding recurrant mole removed from her cheek somewhere around 1985-1987. There was no pathology done. In January of 2017 she had what seemed like a stroke. She ended up having 3 brain mets. One 1.5 cm bled a bit and caused minor symptoms. One was tiny, and the other 1.5 cm grew to 3 cm in a month and was removed fully by crani on 4/17. There is no disease in her body and no skin lesions have been found. We are currently trying to figure out what to do next.
