The resources available to fight melanoma, to detect melanoma, and to save lives...it is out there. No there isn't a cure. Yet. But info is readily available on how you can do all you can to protect yourself. It is just a matter of doing it. Like buckling your seatbelt and not sticking your finger in a light socket. Check your moles. While I personally recommend having a professional check you out, you should also be aware of your own body. Check out the resource below on how you can map yourself...

Brian Craig Halley 1972-2008
- Jenni Halley
- I am a 38 year-old single mother of 3 beautiful, fun, smart, amazing children. I am one of the two families raising my two daughters (thanks to a divorce from my 1st husband), and I am raising my son alone (thanks to melanoma killing my 2nd husband). I enjoy using this blog to journal my feelings.
About This Blog
I have recently shifted the focus of this blog back to follow the title. I fight melanoma everyday in the loss of Brian, in the loss of the girls' stepdad, and in the loss of Tye's daddy. At the one year anniversary of Brian's death, I decided to start a new blog about our family. I am keeping this blog to continue to share things on melanoma and other cancers, and rant and rave about how much it sucks to be a widow. It seemed in my mind that the time had come to split those. Please see the link below to visit my new blog. http://www.momto3gr8kidz.blogspot.com/

Valuable Resources for an Irreplaceable YOU!
"Just Skin Cancer?"
Aside from my focus to care for my husband and children, I'm on a mission to save you too! Below are websites to help keep you safe from melanoma, and hopefully educate you on this deadly beast that has invaded our life and worn down an otherwise healthy man. I pray that what I've learned might help prevent melanoma, or at least lead to early detection, as well as provide information on basal and squamous cell carcinomas. I hope to channel this wealth of unwelcome information to make a positive impact on your lives, as you are all as precious to your families and friends as Brian is to ours. Please contact me if I can help you with resources or answer questions.

Understanding that this is likely a difficult question/favor to ask...you disclosed having watched Grey's Anatomy several weeks ago and your thoughts/hopes associated with how this particular media will handle melanoma, realistically speaking. I have been watching webcasts of the past several episodes out of curiosity myself, and am wondering - if you are keeping up with it - and if so, if you are comfortable - continuing to dialogue about your perspective as the story unfolds.
