A Family's Journey Through Melanoma: A Sister's Love and Loss | Dee Conway

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Series - 9

Melanoma not only affects the individual diagnosed with this disease, but it also has a significant impact on their family and loved ones. In this heartfelt conversation, my guest, Dee Conway shares her story about her sister Rose and her diagnosis of melanoma that ended her life within just 6 months. The emotional toll of melanoma can be overwhelming. Today we discuss the importance of early detection, the dangers of tanning beds, and the need for more education about skin cancer. Dee’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting your skin and taking steps to prevent melanoma. 

The loss of her sister at the young age of 35, inspired her to become an advocate for sun safety and melanoma awareness. Dee’s advocacy work through the Melanoma Research Foundation and in Washington DC for the state of Arizona shows her efforts have helped to educate others and to hopefully prevent them from experiencing these tragedies.

If you are interested in getting involved in melanoma advocacy and support, there are many ways to do so. You can start by educating yourself about the disease and the importance of sun safety. You can also donate to organizations that support melanoma research or volunteer your time to help raise awareness and funds. Whatever you choose to do, your efforts can make a difference in the fight against melanoma.
