Review for SHADE Foundation of America, New Port Richey, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Until my daughter was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2000, I was totally uninformed about this most common form of cancer. Like most, I suspect, melanoma was thought of as the "If I have to get cancer, this is the one to get" .
