Thank you guest, for pointing that out. Some women may not be aware of that. Actually when I initially went to see a dermatologist that was one of the questions on the patient questionnnare (specifically to melonoma). Fortunately cancer does not run in my family. In a family of all girls (I'm the youngest of 6 girls) and the only one that has ever been diagnosed with breast cancer and the only one on both; my maternal (family of 18) and paternal (family of 14) as well. But none of us can be too careful, since cancer is very sneeky(sp?) and obviously does not discriminate.
