'It was weird to have it happen twice'
Martina Franey, from West Kirby , was surprised to discover a small, itchy lesion on her back. After asking her husband, Matt, to take a photo, she discovered she had something similar to a mole - something she didn’t have previously.
This wasn’t the first time Martina had come across BCC. Two years prior, she had a similar mark on her back and it was believed an operation, performed by a dermatologist, had gotten rid of it all. There are two types of skin cancer – melanoma and non-melanoma. Both types are more common in older people, although melanoma has a higher percentage of younger people being diagnosed.
The campaign highlights how those living in the North West are 13% more likely to be diagnosed with the condition when compared with the rest of England.
