“Melanoma runs in my family.” If I (Robyn) said that once I said it a thousand times. When I was diagnosed with melanoma almost ten years ago, I wasn’t surprised. Fortunately, I have had regular skin checks my entire adult life. “Curing” my melanoma was a matter of a simple outpatient surgery and a few stitches. The only real impact on my life was not being able to bike ride for several weeks. I barely even have a scar. But since then I have been certain that I would get it again.
