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.

I have been having regular skin checks for a long time and never even do much as had a BCC but just got diagnosed with an early stage melanoma on my face I thought looked like an age spot.
