One of my best friends might have Melanoma?

melanoma



I’m the only one that knows I think. Well, my science teacher started talking about melanoma and how one of her students died from it, and my friend started freaking out. What are the risks of Melanoma? Is she going to be alright? I told her it was okay, but she was still scared I think. I don’t know ? :(

    I had melanoma. I was in stage II when it was caught. I had it excised and that was 20 years ago. No recurrence at all.
