As I mentioned in my introduction, my third and current cancer is melanoma, so I want to talk about my cancers: melanoma.
About nine or ten years ago, it started as a small mark on my right cheek which I was told was a harmless sunspot or to give it its proper name; a lentigo.
That was the opinion of a consultant dermatologist who examined me at the time. Gradually, over time, it became larger until I became concerned about it early last year. I took a photo of it and sent it to my GP.
The doctor immediately referred me to see a dermatologist who then referred me to the Christie Hospital about which I was very pleased.
