About Me and how a life can change

The year was 1990; my wife and I had been married for just one year and we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl.

It was just a matter of months later that I was told I was at stage 3 head and neck cancer and it had spread inside to my throat.

The medical term for the exact type of cancer I had was squamous cell carcinoma which you may know is a type of skin cancer.

I used an alternative healthy approach to healing along with the entire spectrum of conventional medicine which consisted of chemotherapy, major surgery and radiation.

After my recovery from the treatments I went on working as a stained glass painter for my brother for almost 20 years. Then, due to a ladder sliding out from under me, I fell and injured my back.

At that point I had to call it quits and retire, although I had not planned on doing that yet.

I’m just not the kind of person that would be content to sit around and let life pass my by in my retirement. I needed to find something to do that would give me satisfaction and start doing it.

I realized it wasn’t about me. My story and experiences are all shared with you on this site because it’s really all about you.

If you’re reading this, you or a loved one must have or be curious about skin cancer. I’m continually assembling here on one site all kinds of information and `real people` experiences that I wish I would have had available.

I’m sure now that I would have made some decisions different.

The internet is what I chose to spread skin cancer awareness to you.

These are things that I did not know. I didn’t know how curable it was in the early stages, I didn’t know what questions to ask my doctor and I didn’t know anybody to talk to who had experienced this type of cancer.

I don’t want that for anyone, so I set out to build this site.

Not being experienced in building a website, I found some really good Software and I add information on an on-going basis.

If you don’t find what you are looking for don’t ever hesitate toContact Me and I’ll do my best to help you or find the information.

If you have skin cancer and would like to Share Your Experience with others, you may do it here.

Perhaps this site can prevent someone's life from changing the way mine did!
