It could happen to YOU!

This may seem like a strange topic to have on a poetry site, but it's really important to get this message over to young people.

Skin Cancer, most often in it's Melanoma form, is one of the most misunderstood forms of Cancer. It is also one of the most dangerous forms and most alarmingly, it's on the Increase!

It's easy to understand the risks of unhealthy life styles (like smoking) leading to Cancer, but Melanoma is usually as a result of what we have, for years assumed to be part of a healthy lifestyle.

We all feel great when we get out in the sun, and soak up those wonderful rays!

So it's really hard to imagine that those same rays may be sowing the seeds of future skin cancer.

Although everyone is at risk. Those with fair skin are most vulnerable. As more and more people head for sunny regions for vacations, the risks continue to rise.

The links on this page will tell you all about Melanoma. Do visit those sites and read. For education is vital.

Skin cancer kills and is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. It can be treated if caught early. So knowing how to identify early signs is essential. So please, please read.
