Skin checks

This is just a reminder to get skin checks along with every other checks ✔️ we all do. In some cases breast cancer has links to melanoma. Chemo too can bring out skin issues.

I had 3 melanoma before my skin cancer diagnosis in 2020. I have had a history too of abnormal cells in many of my moles. Post breast cancer and chemo I have had 2 more malignant melanoma ( one recently diagnosed) and a SCC. I am ok as these are detected early. I am waiting for surgical removal in July. 

The message is to get your skin checked so if any issues arise they can be found early and treatment is available. 
  • Good news this time. Two biopsies came back abnormal cells but no further cutting anything out required. The other biopsies were normal. They will keep an eye on me at my 6 monthly checks. So relieved.
