A mum diagnosed with skin cancer has begged people to wear sun cream during the latest heatwave and protect their skin as a 'tan just isn't worth it'.
Neurophysio Michelle was initially told the mole was 'nothing to worry about' when she saw a dermatologist in 2017. It was here that they came across a tiny microscopic deposit of cancer - a micrometastasis - that wasn't picked up on a scan due to its size, which set her at stage three Melanoma. She managed to book an appointment with the dermatologist that afternoon, where she at that point had gained seven lumps."He [the dermatologist] went white when he looked at me. I knew then it was stage four. I knew the outlook was going to be very, very bad.Doctors said she had high-grade melanoma, with tumours doubling every two hours.
Luckily, a new life-saving treatment had become licensed in the UK a year earlier - immunotherapy - which suppresses the immune system to attack cancer cells.
