Beauty expert Roisin Doherty has vowed to do everything she can to drive home the importance of wearing sunscreen 'hail, rain or shine'
A young mum has made an emotional sunscreen plea after her shock skin cancer diagnosis. Beauty expert, Roisin Doherty, says she had herself "dead and buried" after learning a small spot on her face was in fact basal cell carcinoma.
She said: "Whenever you hear that word 'cancer'... no matter if it's serious or it's not so serious, the first thing we think about as a human being is death." To cut a long story short, Roisin says she decided to go private to get it checked out because she was told the "waiting list was around two years" to be seen by an NHS consultant.
"I got a biopsy and I had to wait around 16 weeks for my actual medical diagnosis as they call it and I can't even put it into words what I went through for those 16 weeks. "I spoke to my husband and we had to make the decision that we had to just walk away whenever we could, so he's gone back to work, we're living a normal kind of life now and my health has to come first.
According to the Public Health Agency, 28% of all cancers diagnosed in NI are skin cancers and the number of cases is rising with an average of 3,128 new cases diagnosed annually.
