Mary is a hardworking senior at Morgan State University. She is majoring in physical education and looking forward to teaching elementary education after graduation. For the past few weeks, Mary has noticed a red, scaly, sharply outlined patch of skin on her forehead. She has put creams on it but it will not go away, and may be getting larger. When she goes to the dermatologist they tell Mary that she has skin cancer that is probably still in its early stages. The potential diagnosis of cancer raises a lot of questions for Mary.
