*Trigger Warning* Skin Cancer Awareness | How Skin Cancer Affects My Life 

Thank you for highlighting the dreadful skin cancer malignant melanoma. I was diagnosed in 2019 & was totally devastated & was convinced I was going to die. Thankfully there was no spread to my lymph nodes & I have 6 monthly checks and I remain clear. This awful sneaky cancer if diagnosed early is treatable with good outcomes. We need to be aware of any changes in our body & be persistent to get checked when thing don’t seem right. Best wishes for continued good health & living your best life x

so happy for you that you got good news , after what you have gone through , i wish you health and happiness , take care xxx

oh denise this made me cry .ime so happy that you got good news , sending you lots of love and hugs xxx💞

Hi Denise this is wonderful news, big hugs. I’ve just had the all clear from a basal cell carcinoma which was on my scalp. My hairdresser picked up on it and I will be eternally grateful to her. Big hugs for you lovely lady, now celebrate with James lots of love Sandy 💞

This video made me cry 😭 so happy to hear your good news and it hurt my heart to hear you talking about your mum but you know shes watching over you and shes so incredibly proud ❤ im so happy it was good news, when i saw the trigger warning my heart sank but hopefully now this is a little weight off your mind ❤ xxx

My dearest Denise! I am saddened by all of this news, but also very elated to know that your well! I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of your mom, at such a young age! I just cannot begin to express, how much I wish that I could be near you & give you many, many really big hugs xx ❤ It was wonderful of you to share your story with the hope of helping others! This message you sent was so very important for people to hear. James sees the dermatologist every few months. He usually has something removed and sent for biopsy each time he goes. Many of them have come back pre-cancerous, over the years. He grew up working on the family farm never wore sun protection. No too stays out of the sun. We both do our best. Make sure to protect your eyes too! I am sending you all of my love, hugs & support ❤ xx - here for you always too! Xx 😘 Roe

What a powerful and emotional video, I'm so glad you're okay. For you to continue your SW journey through all of the worry and not knowing is amazing, though I'm sure it helped you to have something to focus on. Spending you love, take care and love your hair ! ❤xc

Hi Denise, I've had it too, such a shock as not in my family. It was in my leg, I had noticed a shape, colour and size change in a mole on my lower leg in late 2022. Urgent appt, several weeks later not good result. I've had it removed coming u on a year and further one too as precaution. I'm glad to say, like yourself, all clear 😊. They took photographs of my whole body, I've had 2 six monthly check ups all good and now will be reviewed annually. Was in Mexico last February (found out 3 weeks befote i went,, was then booked in for when I returned. Factor 50 on all holidays and foundation has SPF coverage too. Good luck, and thank you for continuing your videos, inspiring us even though your mind was elsewhere. God Bless x

Bless you Denise. Thank you for such an informative video and i am so pleased with your news. I love following your sw journey and these extra videos are a bonus. I keep an eye on hubby as he has a few moles but don't seem to have changed. Take care always and sending love xx

So pleased your surgery is over and you have the wonderful good news that everything is okay. What an emotional and informative video. You have been through so much and not to have emotionally eaten is somewhat of a miracle being under so much stress and worry. I love the heat but not the sun, I am always in a hat and wear factor 30, I was blond when younger and have blue eyes but I am lucky I don't burn. But I still protect myself. Your hair looks stunning 😍 it really suits you shorter xx

Sending you huge hugs Denise! I wish you health and happiness to enjoy married life. Cancer sucks, and the treatment even more so (from personal experience). Well done on being strong enough to get through, what must have been for you, a very difficult video. Take care x

Oh you are so brave

Wow what a fabulous person you are you have kept the videos going through all this❤ you are so brave and thank you for sharing and bless you that was hard.

Some one in my family to, had a big scare,, she was told she had a mole which turned out to be cancer, but thank god, was caught in time, god bless you

Well done for bringing awareness to this, I am sure your family history and the fact that you are a nurse has given you a power and confidence to deal with this and not let it slide. So many folk have no understanding about such topics that they ignore things and it goes too far and it is not a positive outcome. You are looking amazing and what strength to have been able to stay the course with your weight loss with this hanging over you. Sending love.

Denise, thank you for raising awareness and sharing your story. My parents both have skin cancer - my dad has squamous cell carcinoma (13 growths treated so far) and my mum has basal call carcinoma. My mum's surgery was only two weeks ago and they had to shave off most of her hair on the top of her head to remove the tumour - she cannot bear to look in the mirror or at photos. It is so important to get checked - don't just wear SPF, wear a hat too. By the way, your hair looks lovely!

Aaah that’s a shame you are looking great take care I believe in positive thinking keep going you are doing well 🎉

Big hugs lovley. I too am a fair haired pale skinned person absolutley covered in moles. I'm constantly checking. Thanks for raising awareness on an issue that gets so overlooked. Congrats on the good news xxx

Bless you Denise thank you for your honesty wishing you all the best of everything

Sorry about your mum that’s so sad!! I just want to warn people that melanoma can be on ears 👂 as well

I wish l could give you a big hug ❤ xx

Well done for making this video. How stressful for you but so pleased at your outcome. I’m a red head and have had to have smaller moles removed so I’m always on the alert now and cover up as much as I can plus factor 50.

Aw bless you ❤ it must have been hard on you. I really worry about skin cancer . I have a large mole on my back getting larger, I was thinking of going to the skin clinic, did get a price list, but got scared they would shave it off. Do you have a pic of yours x

Sun lotion full off bad chemicals, that cause cancer. Bless you i had skin cancer too.

Extra note, your new look is fabulous 🩷
