Just read Sean Locke had skin cancer 31years ago and it was that cancer that killed him.
My husband was diagnosed with a grade 4 malignant melanoma on the side of his face in his hair line by his right eye in January 2001 and was given 5 years to live . He became terminal in October 2003 . He had 3 tumour's in his right lung , 1 in his chest and 2 in his brain by the optical nerve. He died 4 days after his 47th birthday in February 2004 When he died 2,000 people a month where dieing of skin cancer I think the figures are higher now.
Hopefully people will take more care with the sun. Always wear high factor suntan cream whenever going out in the sun. Even on a sunny winter's day.
During summer sunny days wear a hat and sun glasses. Any age can get skin cancer .
My husband died in agony unable to breath. Skin cancer isn't talked about enough. It's what I call a Cinderella cancer. All other cancers get all the attention but skin cancer is left in the background.
If you have a mole or spot that looks odd. Look at pictures of them and if in doubt get a medical opinion.
If I have got one of you to look at any odd marks then writing this has been worth it.
