Survivor Stories

It was an emotional and confronting time to be diagnosed with a high risk melanoma after being told the lesion was a BCC for 18 months prior.

In 2012, almost a year after a Stage 1 melanoma was removed from my back, I detected a lump about the size of a golf ball under my right armpit.

Hi, my name is Regan, I am a regular 19 year-old girl who enjoys nothing more to be outdoors and all ready a skin cancer survivor. This is my story…
