[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 125913, member: 87"] Janet -- Well, that was very scary to read about your dad. It is good to know that Melanoma is not a death sentence. I thought it was!! My dermatologist had said to me, "You are fortunate it is not Melanoma. That can spread to your organs." And I know I've heard it can lead to death. It's also good to hear that plastic surgery can do wonders. I, too, am blue-eyed and fair skinned. I do not tan. I usually burn first and then tan. I do not go out in the sun. I have never laid in the sun. I was a big water skier when I was a teen and young adult, though, and my nose would get burned going out on the boat. The dermatologist told me you get skin cancer from if you were sunburned when you were young. I played outside when I was a kid, and I suppose we didn't use suntan lotion back then. My family didn't have a lot of money; I can't imagine my mom would have bought it. Kathie -- What were you told about your Melanoma? Were you told it could spread to your organs? Or were you told that because they got it all that you do not have to worry? Melanoma scares me. Jo -- How are the people you know you had Melanoma? Are they OK? Also, my dermatologist did not say anything about skin cancer being genetic. She said it was from being sunburned when I was a kid/young. sue [/QUOTE]
