    • Hey! Thanks for the email and great piece. My only concern is that this piece doesn't present much about the possibility of skin cancer developing beyond stage I. I have lost many friends to melanoma and I myself had a near-death scare just 1 year ago.

      Thanks for helping to raise awareness!

    • What an important topic! So many young women need to know about skin cancer and this piece covered it in a serious way that didn't happen to be depressing or fear mongering.

    • Terrific work on this segment, Carrie, but we didn't see any reference to D&P urging you to stay out of the sun and put on your sunscreen. Can't wait to see you in September.
