OMG! It's possible to overdo the mask thing.

9. My father's melanoma was discovered

accidentally. He accompanied my mother on a doctor's visit and the doctor noticed the cancerous spot on my father's forehead. He referred my father to a dermatologist who treated it. But my father did not follow up with regular checkups.

Later, he developed prostate cancer, so when he died at age 86, we don't know which cancer caused it. He was a stubborn "tough guy" who never wanted to admit to any physical illness.

I am much more attentive to things like that. Being female, I don't have his macho attitude about health. But I do have half of my genes from him, so I get dermatology exams.
