Huh?

A personal story in the experience: I Am a Cancer Survivor
I t was 10 years ago this summer when I got the call.  "Your biopsy came back positive for melanoma."  What?  You've got to be kidding me!  But I'm not a sun goddess!  How can I get it where the sun doesn't shine?  I was just finishing up school and started thinking why?  Why finish this if I'm not going to be able to enjoy life and grow old, get married and have a family?  I sure am glad I did.  Ten years strong and not looking back!  Cancer took my mom, grandma, 2 uncles and many friends.  It can't have me yet.  I'm not ready.  I won't be ready for a long, long time!
