That's a phrase you'd never want your doctor to say to you. But, over 1 million people will hear it this year.
I knew a young man, only in his thirties, Dwayne, that was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the most virulent form of the disease. He owned a local business in town, and had a wife and young children.
Dwayne fought the cancer valiantly for a over a year, even going to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, for treatment. In the end though, the cancer took his life.
The American Cancer Society has some common sense advice skin cancer prevention. Much of it has to do with limiting your exposure to the sun, which is the chief culprit. It's the UV rays that get you.
Let me advise you to visit their website and heed the warnings, because you don't really want to hear "You have skin cancer," do you?
