Just wanted to alert everyone to be Melanoma aware, anyone can get them. I had thought spending a good part of my life in the Great White North (Canada), that i would not have to worry about them, not so.

Get your GP to have a look over your skin for any suspicious moles and don't hesitate to have any questionable ones removed for biopsy.
Thanks for the reminder Glen. Hopefully your pain abates soon and heals well.
