Holly poop

Well yesterday I got the news that I was hoping not to hear, the doctor found a mole that in fact was melanoma. So to spare all the medical jargon I have to get more skin removed and possibly have some lymph nodes removed and just pray that it has not spread anywhere else. It is not a totally bad melanoma but its not great either. I am not sure what the future had in store and not really able to comprehend all of this yet all I know is they need to get in there and get all the crap out and I have to be super careful with my skin. I was never really a tanning bed person but I was a swimmer and spent the majority of my life outside but I have never had a sunburn, EVER. The reason I am putting this out there is not for sympathy its to make people aware. We all love that summer glow and a tan does look good but having a life long scar on your forehead and hearing you have skin cancer at 29 is not worth it.
