Patients + Caregivers

Thirty years ago, getting melanoma would have been a different story. I thank my lucky stars I got referred to the right people at the right place to help me beat this.

Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have lived as long as I have. I’m healthy and enjoying my family. I feel so fortunate.

People come up and give me hugs. I have had people come up and pray with me. I’ve even had people pray on me. It all meant something. It was a fantastic experience.
