My family noticed a change in my mole on my chest. It happened so slowly I never noticed it myself. I had an excision surgery two weeks after diagnosis, and thankfully all of the cancer cells were removed at that time. Thankfully my skin cancer diagnosis’ was caught early enough for a best case scenario. But, when you are told over the phone you have cancer, nothing truly prepares you for that. Once I had the all clear, I started TRULY living life to the fullest. I started new hobbies and became more intentional with friendships.
