Check Yourself

Around Labor Day weekend, Sally went and had a few moles/freckles checked out by her dermatologist.  There was one specifically that concerned them, and they had a test run on it and it came back with melanoma.  That is a pretty scary word, and Sally was alarmed.  She had it taken off immediately and now has to go in for frequent screenings.  AND as a result Jay, Janie and I scheduled full body screenings.  I went last week and told my doctor about Sally.  As a result she was pretty vigilant about looking at every spot on me and made the determination to take one off while I was there.  I have a few stitches in my arm but my results came back good.  Nothing irregular.  So I encourage everyone to get screened annually.
