I wanted to share my friends' interview on CBS news about his tanning bed and melanoma experience.  David was diagnosed with melanoma when he was 27 years old after spending 4-5 days/week  in the tanning beds in his early 20's.  David was lucky that his physician caught the melanoma in the beginning stage.  But David is not safe.  He was diagnosed with melanoma again on his calf  and recently had basal cell carcinoma on his forehead.  And the sad reality of it is David does not use tanning beds anymore and is very careful and protects his skin now when he goes out in the sun. the You can see his interview with Dr. Max Gomez here.
