In the fall of 1995, my wife's sister Cindy was diagnosed with recurrent nodular melanoma, the result of a misdiagnosed mole that had been removed but not biopsied some years earlier. The MPIP started as a way of sharing the information I had uncovered on the web with my far-flung family. Before long I was getting e-mail from other people who had found it through one of the search engines asking for more information. I realized that a need existed for a site to organize the vast amount of information available and the MPIP was the result.
