Hi, my name is Samantha Carter and 2014 marks my 10 year anniversary with Melanoma.  I have blogged a little in the past 10 years about my journey with Melanoma, but decided on my anniversary that I would go full force and become a very vocal awareness advocate.

I am an Adult Oncology/BMT/Apheresis Registered Nurse and have been in this field for the past 8 years.  I Love It.  I have a wide variety of hobbies.  I love the outdoors (hiking, boating, gardening, birdwatching) and I am a lover of four-legged babies (dogs).  Actually, I love ALL animals.  I have been a beekeeper since Spring 2013 – this is something I never thought I would say.  I love to cook and I find myself watching Food Network or The Cooking Channel shows relentlessly during my free time.  I also love yoga…hot yoga to be exact.  I do not practice quite as much as I would like, but hope to get back into practice soon.  Oh Yea…how could I forget…I love anything and everything about Coffee.  I love football…GO Gamecocks!  I’m sure there is more, but I think that is quite enough about me.

Enjoy my blog and my postings!

Please join me in my mission to promote Melanoma Awareness.
