I was very pleased when CA was the first to ban tanning beds for those teens 18 and younger. I felt that other states would definitely follow in their footsteps since they are proven to cause cancer. I could not wait to see how other states followed. A good portion of other states have proposed bills for 18 and younger, but not KY. I was so disappointed when I read this:
My daughter, Courtney, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma skin cancer stage 2 C on May 12, 2011, at 16 years old. Her tumor was 7 mm deep, ulcerated, invasive, and a high mitotic rate of 9. Courtney had 4 weeks of high dose Interferon, and 48 weeks of peginterferon alfa-2b. Courtney did very well on the interferon and completed her 1 year treatment. She will now return to St. Jude every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months until she is 26. She is doing great!
