Melanoma Monday

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ElectroOptical-Sciences-to-iw-15090912.html

My former girlfriend is a 10-year survivor of melanoma, so this Monday will have a special place in my heart. MelaFind is not only a worthy investment, but it is a life saver. It detects melanoma (both positive and negative readings) better than the best dermatologists in the world.

In fact, her dermatologist assured her that her mole was benign, but upon her exit, he noticed she was uneasy with the prognosis. He ordered a biopsy so "she could sleep at night." The biopsy revealed stage 2/stage 3 melanoma, and she was scheduled for surgery the next day. As the CEO of Electro Optical Science was quoted, "With melanoma, the paranoid survive".

A big shout out to Lisa C on her 10-year anniversary! And may you have many more 10-year anniversaries.

  1. Wow! I really like that last statement about "only the paranoid survive!" Congrats to your girlfriend on detecting and defeating her melanoma.

    I would like to invite you to the UV Skinz blog and hopefully you will join us in our efforts to protect infants from potential sun damage and possible skin cancer this May!
