Reality TV star and ship captain Jason Chambers, known for his appearance on Below Deck Down Under, has revealed he has been diagnosed with melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. He admitted to years of sunscreen avoidance and urged viewers to prioritize early detection
Below Deck Down Under star Jason Chambers has revealed he has been diagnosed with skin cancer . The 52-year-old reality star and ship captain took to Instagram on Monday to share his melanoma diagnosis and admitted he had spent years going without sunscreen. He said: 'Update on the biopsy I had. It came back with melanoma. I’m in Australia. That was done in Bali.
The Australian doctors, which are fantastic in Australia, they weren’t happy with what the indications told them to go to the stage two which would be to cut out a bigger section and test the glands. 'Look Australia, two out of three people suffer from melanoma. It’s a big thing. I never used to wear sunscreen when I was on the boat. I used to put zinc on my nose, the reason being the chemicals. But there’s so many products out there that are chemical-free now, which is great. 'For someone that spent their life in the sun, as a child playing sport to working on the ocean, I thought I was resistant to the damaging effects of the sun. I love the sun and its health benefits are evident, but be wise and like everything in life, it’s all about balance, choose your battles. 'With a diagnosed melanoma biopsy, I now have an anxious wait and what I thought was a skin spot turned in just 6 months, early detection is the key.
