Kandi’s personal story


Kandi Dawson
In May 2017, our family went on a beach trip. While I was on the trip and wearing my bathing suit, my daughter, Hannah, noticed a discolored mole on my back.

She is a nurse and told me that I needed to get the spot checked. I made an appointment and went to the dermatologist. The spot came back as melanoma, and I had to have it removed.

I have a 5-inch scar on my back and have had to get a checkup every six months for three years. I never would have had the mole checked if my daughter had not noticed it! I guess paying for her to go to nursing school paid off!
