Christie Brinkley said she was diagnosed with skin cancer. She said she had basal cell carcinoma removed from the side of her face. She reminded others to be diligent about sunscreen.
Supermodel Christie Brinkley took to Instagram Wednesday to announce she had been diagnosed with skin cancer. The 70-year-old model shared that she recently had basal cell carcinoma removed from the side of her face. 'The good news for me is we caught the basal cell Carcinoma early,' she wrote in part.
The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection!' she wrote. 'I got serious a bit late so now for this ole mermaid/gardener, I’ll be slathering on my SPF 30, reapplying as needed, wearing long sleeves and a wide brim hat. And doing regular total body check ups..that is a MUST !' Brinkley shared that she didn't visit the doctor for her own concern, but was accompanying her daughter on her appointment.
Speaking with People in January, ahead of her milestone birthday, Brinkley admitted it has led the model to think of all the things she still wants to accomplish in life. 'I still have to see India,' she shared. 'I’ve never been to Tahiti or Thailand. I want to go to Bali also. I’ve got to do an eat, pray, love.' Brinkley told the outlet she is approaching 70 'with a lot of reverence and emotion.
What’s the big deal about 30? What’s the big deal about 40?' Brinkley told Tamron Hall in September 2023. 'If you take good care of yourself, and you eat right, and you exercise, and you have a good mental attitude — lots of laughter, lots of curiosity, lots of adventures — that keeps you young. In short, age is just a state of mind, so I just don’t think about it.'
