Sad Melanoma stats for 2012
The National Cancer Institute estimates that 76,250 people were diagnosed with melanoma in 2012 and that 9,180 deaths occurred from the same disease.
Let's make the numbers much better in 2013! Here we go!!!!!! - c

ReplyDeleteUgh that's so sad -- I hope 2013 is much better!
