Mr. J, age 42, is a construction worker in Las Vegas who lives
with his daughter and grandson, Sammy. He recently noticed that a
mole on his face seemed to be getting larger and darker. At first,
he did not worry because he was in the sun a lot and assumed the
change may have been caused by sunburn. After a month, not only was
the mole larger and darker, but it appeared to be “bumpy.” His
doctor diagnosed a malignant melanoma skin cancer following biopsy
of the nevus. Mr. J reports pain in his right shin that does not go
away when he puts his feet up or sleeps.
