Thanks for sharing your story, today i got notified by my dermatologist that my Mole is a stage 2 melanoma and they have to do next surgery to cut more of skin .. she told things will be fine as you said and i hope so ...
Thank you so much for sharing! How scary for you! I use to go to the beach and sit out in the sun for hours. I am just now realizing how dangerous that is. How brave of you to share! You could be saving lives.
I'm sorry to hear about your melanoma, my brother has stage 3 and worry about him all the time. It's been 6 years now and so far so good. Your family members also need to be checked for skin cancer because were at higher risk. Best of wishes to you.
My own results brought me here, I was told today I have melanoma type 1, I was told there going back in to make the bigger incision, thank you so much for your video ❤
Bob Marley had skin cancer on his toe...he was told to have his toe removed he refused. So he was told he had Melonoma he didn't follow through. He died while walking in the streets 3 years later. The cancer spread to his brain. But you are saving lives making this video. Probably the most important video you ever made
@@ModelingTabi no...just when it went to his brain. By then it was to late. I have melenoma as I spotted a black mold on my leg one day. They removed it and came back positive as melenoma type 2c. They remove leg tissue and removed two of my lymph nodes to see if it had spread.
@@pawsnclaws2115 aww I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope they treat it soon. I have a spot on the side of my right thigh. it is darker than the rest of my body. I’m not sure if I had it since I was younger but it is not raised or a mole.
Love the courage it took to do this video! I've got my recheck coming up, they called with the referral info today. I'm a single mom and it is a constant fear to find more (or not find them until it's too late), have procedures, heal, etc. I'm like you, sunscreen just wasn't applied in the 70s, 80s,90s as much if at all. I went to tanning beds after living in Florida until my dads diagnosis in 2006. Then we found out more of the family history. It is serious and lethal. I just love the information in this video and it's intention. Xoxo💋
My aunt had the same thing!! It's soooo brave of you to share this with us. You are so right that skin cancer isn't as talked about at all!! Thank you for sharing with us!! Me and my family are from Virginia Beach,Va and I literally grew up on the beach and with baby oil as well so I know exactly what your talking about here!! Much love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
U r so right, no one really talks about it. I just wanted to get the awareness out!!!! Thank you for watching and commenting on my videos it means alot to me!!!
I've Only Been To The Beach 3 Times In My Life, I've Just Never Lived Closed By Or Ever Had The Time.... I'm Sooo White, Almost Seethough... And The Last Time I Went To The Beach I Used Baby Oil.. And Badly Needed A Tan. But This Is Such An Amazing-Caring Video.. It's Very Sad To Hear, But Hopefully Helps Someone.
Hi Anne, I too have melanoma, but I have stage 4, now in remission, but not yet clear. I was glad to find your story. I've been thinking about doing my own UA-cam video. Your story has inspired me go forward with this. This is my second round of Melanoma. 1st in 1976 and second in 2016. Hope you are well and no further Melanoma.
Thank you for sharing your story. I had a nephew that passed from metastatic melanoma. He was 33 years old, they examined every part of his body and couldn't find where it entered. It went straight to his liver and kidneys. He was fine for about 3 months, then it was in his brain. He slipped into a coma on November 11th 2018 and passed later that night. He is missed terribly 💔💔💔!
KUDOS to you!!! for making this video. We are not far I am in NYC. And this had to be a hard to make I have a few videos I just cant get made yet so I give you mega KUDOS!!!! Awareness is sooooooo important......I am glad your on top of your issue and are ok
Glad you caught it in time....I had non Hodgins lymphoma......6 mo chemo. Having reprocussions from it and have to move South now.... immune system very low...... Then 3 yrs after my remission my loving, best friend husband .had stage 4 cancer!!!. God gave me 5 months with him....my world has been turned upside down for sure... No family at all around me. I live in the sticks... Oh bty you really don't look like you have children at that age!! Wow!.. I was only blessed with a loving husband......
great video girl I'm so glad that you shared this with us because I did not know about melanoma until you was just talking about it I mean I remembered hearing about it but no one's actually to me in detail about it as much as you so thank you you did a great job on this video keep them up girl girl I love seeing you around
Thank you for your story, very similar to mine, I also had stage 2 Melanoma diagnosed in May on my arm, with subsequent wide excision that has left a horrible scar that I have to cover up now. Thankful that we both caught ours early!
Coby Hymes aww I'm so happy u caught URS early. Have u found any other unusual spots on ur skin since then?? I had 4 biopsies done since this video. 1 of them was basil skin cancer. 1 of them was very early stage 1melenoma. The other 2 were ok. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! This video was done when I literally just started making videos. I was extremely nervous. Lol
Thanks Anne for your story on your skin cancer, you helped me with a class assignment I did in medical terminology. Thanks for sharing again, I hope and pray for the best.!
Thank you for sharing this video! I hope you are doing better now! My grandma had melanoma! She was from the south so always out in the sun when she was younger! When I was younger like 2nd grade I had an allergic reaction to the sun so I am always mindful! This video has I am sure helped other’s already and will continue to help other’s! Thank you! Trish
Great video. I remember the baby oil and even putting tin foil on the cover of a double album cover to use to get color on your face. Melanoma is a serious problem and the more people educated the better. Thanks for talking about it.
Great video! Yes we New Jersians live the beach! I go all summer everyday! I never used sun block when I was younger but now I do. I Lather my kids up so much they could slip into the water! Such a great awareness video and please please please keep me posted. I am only a few mins away I can always help you if needed!
Thank you for making this video .. I'm very fair and recently have a black spot appear on my arm , waiting to see doctor , anyway hope your okay and stay strong lovely x
Hello I've been diagnosed with stage 0 melonma skin cancer it's scary but it's cureable my dermatologist is going to be checking other moles and more surgeries for me I go next week for surgery to have it removed thank you for this video it put my mind more at ease knowing I'm not alone and that you survived stage 2 melonma skin cancer your very brave and strong and beautiful God definitely has our backs
Thank you for sharing. I'm also from NJ., but now I live in Phoenix AZ. I loved going down the shore in my youth. Then I move to Phoenix, and the bright sun is everywhere. I also have olive shin color. Recently went to dermatologist per my pcp. And I have moles and freckles everywhere. The checked me all over. And found one that didn't look right. They did a biopsy. They called and said they couldn't say it was melanoma. But said I have to have surgery to cut more out. So, I'm confused.
I’ve had in situ stage -1. Melanoma is so bad. Once you have had melanoma you will always have it. You have to be diligent and stay on top of it. You are not cured!
I was diagnosed with nodule melanoma in November, sent for a pet scan and they found I also have lung cancer, they did surgery last week, from area of spine to over the shoulder, they took out lymph glands from my armpit....don’t know if I am stage 3 or stage 4.....if the lung biopsy comes back as melanoma of the lung or it is a different type of lung cancer....they haven’t done the ct guided lung biopsy yet, I was on the schedule twice already but the day before that lung biopsy they called and said they have no doctor to do it, so now I am scheduled for New Year’s Eve.....if they dare to call me and cancel again I will go beat the life of someone there....this is my life and by them playing the cancel game is putting a death sentence....I have only lost it twice, both the times they called to cancel....I cried so hard the first time, then I went into sobbing and then into a full panic attack...I could not breathe, it sounded like I was a honking car....scared my poor dog with the sounds I was making....I am glad my husband was home.....it took him to keep saying try to breath slowly, put my feet and hands and lips were all tingling...the second time they called to cancel....I was screaming at the woman....my husband said I scared the poor woman.....put this is my life they are putting in danger.
I was just diagnosed with melanoma. I used tanning beds for 2 years. The melanoma is on my leg. I noticed it a year ago. I'm so scared I waited too long
Do you have anyway of contacting you? I have major anxiety over melanoma from using sunbeds and sunbathing but something about your voice really calms me down xx
Bob Marley had ALM, a rare type of skin cancer that forms on areas not exposed to the sun, like the palms of hands and the bottom of feet. Not all skin cancer is caused by the sun. The majority that dark skin people's skin cancer is genetic or from other causes. Most darks skin ppl are vitamin D deficient, and that's what causes it, we don't burn in the sun that's what melanin is for. With skin cancer only accounts for 1% percent in darks skin people, it is not caused by the sun, if anything we need more sun to fend off autoimmune diseases. The sun is not out enemy, we were made to live under it.
You know, um, I want to keep watching but you know, um, you keep, um, distracting me with, um, you know, um, this annoying and repetitive, you know, um, a nervousness that, um, makes it unpleasant to keep, um, watching. So, um, I’m going to, um, do my best to, you know, um, get through some of this, um, because I believe in you and, um, you know, this is important information. All my, um, love, sister.

@@JustAnne praise our father above that it was caught early
Thanks for that.I was diagnosed with Melanoma stage 2
Also Melenoma feeds of a sugar. Diabetics must watch their sugar even more if they have melenoma
Thank you for sharing. I'm also from NJ., but now I live in Phoenix AZ.

How are you doing today? Is the melanoma gone?
I was just diagnosed with melanoma. I used tanning beds for 2 years. The melanoma is on my leg. I noticed it a year ago. I'm so scared I waited too long
Do you have anyway of contacting you? I have major anxiety over melanoma from using sunbeds and sunbathing but something about your voice really calms me down xx
CaliSurfGirl yes u can email me at
Annedunn3@gmail.com
I did the same. Baby oil and the tanning bed. Thanks for sharing your story. I have been lucky so far. Fingers crossed...✖❌✖
thank you for sharing this video. I know it will help others. thank you.

I actually thought melanoma was a big problem. You are beautiful the color you are, get used to long sleves please and be an indoors kind of girl.
Just got my mole excised and biopsied yesterday... waiting results
i thought i had this, when to go see the docs they said no i didn't have it
