Hi! Welcome to my personal, self-pity, sob-story journal about my diagonisis of melanoma. Please excuse, any harsh or unapproved frustration. I am a cancer patient. Eventually, I will get my sanity back.

I am 25 years old. I am a wife, a mother of two, and a daughter. I HAVE MELANOMA. This blog is about my personal endurance race through this disease.

Good Intentions Gone Wrong

Recently, I made a post on my facebook page just as a helpful reminder this summer to all my friends. Well, I can't even make this up. It goes as follows:

Me: Tanning cause cancer. Remember apply sunscreen.

Comment of "friend":  alot of new research seems to indicate that it's actually the chemicals in most sunscreens that cause/promote/accelerate cancer. This is due to the chemicals trapping your sweat and mixing with it and the toxins your body trying to sweat out of the skin...and then letting the toxins trapped there bake in the sun....google it ;)


Now I have to come clean. I have not told the facebook world that I have Melanoma because, frankly, I do not want to deal with people even though most have good intentions. 

 This one just made me laugh and the sarcasm in me was saying, "Been there. done that." This is just one of those good intentions gone wrong but I think I will put my faith in sunscreen rather than getting a nice burn and look like this.
