Melanoma is not the most common of skin cancers, but it is the most dangerous if not found in the early stages.

We all live in fear of cancer, but to be told you have skin cancer was terrifying.

I think when I was pregnant with my first child - he's about 10 or 11 now - I first noticed changes in my skin, which can make you panic a bit. I had a bit of melasma.

Cancer is a scary thing and you have to deal with it seriously.

When the doctor told me I had cancer, I was scared.

I'm scared of a lot of things.

Every time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level... Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of.

The bad news is that my thin melanoma has something called mitosis, which means the cancer cells are dividing and multiplying even as I write. My thin melanoma has already spread outside of the tumor and into the deep layers of skin.

You hear the word 'cancer,' it scares you. You think of death.

I had breast cancer. Yeah, I know it's scary.
