What about Skin Cancer? Would Black represent all types or just Melanoma?

Wait...you think I would know this... isn't skin cancer ALL considered Melanoma? All my doctors used the words interchangeably (is that really a word?? ) when refering to my cancer recently. Is there a difference??

Children often use two colors, the gold which represents all pediatrics cancers, and the one that matches where their cancer is.
I wish more gold was worn in September, to raise awareness for pediatric cancers.

No, there are several different types of skin cancer. Melanoma is the most serious.
