I agree with you---but don't be misled by thinking melanoma is only caused by too much sun exposure.   I have had 3 melanomas and thyroid cancer---and I am not your typical victim of this disease.  I have olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes (Italian) and not many moles at all.  Also, my melanomas were not changing moles.  Also, my doctor and the doctors at MD Anderson have said they have seen more melanomas on the body "where the sun don't shine."  It can start internally in any pigmented organ (as I understood from them).   I wish everyone well---it seems to be a life-long battle!  Tara
