February 14th. Valentine's Day. Which of these words doesn't fit with the holiday...romance, hearts, candy, flowers and cancer. The obvious one is the last word...unless you're asking me. It was Valentine's Day 2015...just three years ago. I walked out of a shower and caught a peek of a new mole on my upper back. I had been doing some research on the connection between Parkinson's Disease and Melanoma, and knew immediately what I was looking at....Cancer! At that moment, romance, hearts, candy and flowers were the last things on my mind.
