Christie Brinkley is opening up about her skin cancer diagnosis two months after she revealed she was diagnosed with the disease.
The model said Tuesday on TODAY that she learned she had skin cancer when she accompanied her daughter to the dermatologist. “I was in the room, and he had this little magnifying glass out, and he’s looking at a couple of things that she was worried about,” Brinkley said. “I thought, ‘There is that little spot right on the side of my head right here. ... Should I say anything? It’s not my appointment.
“The good news for me is we caught the basal cell Carcinoma early,” she wrote. “And I had great Doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like an haute couture Dior.” “The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection!” Brinkley added. “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.
