What I Wore this day: www.chelseawears.com/2012/10/w...
A little vlog for you guys (recorded at the end of September, 2012) detailing my second surgery to remove any possible remaining melanoma cells. Not a sob story for pity and please don't worry, I'm going to be absolutely fine -- this video aims to encourage others who are a little suspicious of something on their skin to get to a dermatologist to check it out. Better safe than sorry!
Thanks for watching!!!
Disclaimer: I earned this melanoma with my own sad, sad skin. Not a PR sample ;) Go to the dermatologist!

Hey sweetie! I just ran across your melanoma videos and love them. Thank you for sharing. You published this two months before my sister died of melanoma. I am so thankful for people like you that share your experience and urge other people to go in for a dermatologist and to take the mole scare seriously. I am so happy to see you alive and well four years after posting your videos!! Staying alive is awesome!! Wear that dent like a badge of honor!

@lynzeylou6325 11 лет назад

I'm so glad that all went well! Thank you for being so open about your experience thus far. On a shallower note, love the nail polish you are wearing.

@shelbyelise2290 9 лет назад

I cannot tell you how amazing you are for posting this, (even though I'm discovering it YEARS later).. I'm 24 and am going through what you experienced. Yesterday I had my second "surgery", which was done after my first biopsy came back atypical. Unlike you though, my mole was on, (of all places), my foot. I didn't even know it was there until the dermatologist asked about it. I've been stressing out about the whole situation, but this has put me at ease completely. Thanks again!

@vintagepointyshoe 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing! Your positivity is really inspiring, given the difficult situation you are dealing with. Positive attitude does help in the recovery process and I really hope that you'll get healthy soon!

@Liithargic 11 лет назад

I'm happy you shared this with us because I really will go get checked now, just to make sure everything's clear. I really hope the results will come clear for you and this will all get done and dusted. I hope these vlogs go to a lot of people because raising the awareness is such an important thing. So thank you so much and I wish you the best of luck with your results. ♥ Loads of love xxx

@Israelixbabe21 11 лет назад

how could you make a video like this so funny at times on such a serious issue?! shah i was hysterical when you talked about talking to the nurse during the surgery. i pray that you stay healthy after this!

@maryammirbagheri7676 4 года назад

thank you so much for making this video. I'm going through my first biopsy and definitely freaking out but your videos about your experience really calmed me down.

@emilysk93 11 лет назад

I hope the surgery was successful at getting all of the melanoma out! I'm amazed at how happy and jokingly you can still be, you're awesome Chelsea.

@AshleeAbroad 11 лет назад

I'm so happy you are doing well! You have such a great attitude about it all!

@angelstern 11 лет назад

So glad to see your incredible sense of humor is stil intact. Stay positive and strong. xoxo

@JessicaBeautician 11 лет назад

So glad to hear everything went well and you're on the mend! I was tested at the start of the year for skin melanoma, thankfully it came back clear but that was all down to watching a YT vid - I'm sure your story will help many! Gotta say, you never fail to crack me up.. fartin' on the nurse n' all.. :D

@sweetlouisee 11 лет назад

Your attitude is very inspiring, especially for people that are going through the same thing! I need to make an appointment!

@actuallowroller 10 лет назад

It's really brave of you to share this with everyone, glad you are alright.

@makeupgeekish 11 лет назад

Hey, I also am a cancer survivor and yes I do have days when I eat utter crap but rest of the days,as I'm a vege, I have separate fruit juice a day and separate vege juice the next day. Apple is neutral and can be included in fruit and vege juice. In the fruit juice I include all berries, orange, apple, plum. In the vege juice I include celery, spinach, apple, beetroot, courgette, carrot, cucumber, red pepper, ginger and lemon. I also have multivitamins 3 days a week. That will do you wonders.

@Maryam9028w 11 лет назад

SO glad you're doing better and yes i agree it's very important to remember that things could be much worse!

@meganxmarie25 11 лет назад

So glad you're doing well! It's great that you have such a positive perspective about this whole ordeal. A few years ago I drove an ATV through a barbed wire fence resulting in many stitches in my left arm and chin (over 80 in total). They were really bad at first but have faded a lot over time. Although I was really self-conscious about my scars at first, they serve as a reminder about how it could have been much worse. By the way, the MUFE Full Cover concealer is amazing at covering scars! :)

@1marielvis 11 лет назад

Hoping that you get clear margins, and glad that your surgery went well! Thanks for sharing this with us.

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thanks so much, glad to hear how strong you are in your own life too!

@jojogalaxia79 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I really admire your attitude and optimistic outlook. I wish you all the best during your healing process. You're such a kick ass chick!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

so sorry to hear that, it really is such a scary thing. i wish your family member the best as well, thank you!

@biryani1000 11 лет назад

Oh my...I totally missed you last clog on this and didn't know :O I have a mole on my foot and have been meaning to get it checked for ages. I'm gonna book an appointment tomorrow! I wish you well and hope that the surgery was completely successfully.

@QuantumGal 11 лет назад

You are so brave, Chelsea! I am sure you are and forever will be cancer free. Forget about the scar, this is what will make you unique and I am sure the people who love you won't care at all. It will be part of your history, part of your journey to enjoying life to the fullest, to becoming a better person ( I am not implying you are not a good person, now, I am simply saying that such experiences make us reassess and reevaluate what is important in life.) Hugs from Greece :)

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thank you, all better now! hugs!

@kajalindsay5056 7 лет назад

Oh my god, I love you! Your sense of humor is awesome! And yessss, bread and butter is life!!!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

what a crazy story!! that concealer is good -- i am totally going to use it on my arm for special occasions!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

amen!! hope you the best with your skin in the future!

@cortneygt 4 года назад

I just got my ‘surgery’ to remove any stray cancer cells removed yesterday. I did it in the office with lidocaine. I am glad I found your videos, it feels so surreal and serious but not serious at the same time.

@alexramsey9624 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing. What I see is a very strong young lady with a strong will which will beat the heck out of anything... Hope you tell that to your grandchildren one day. Lots of love from Manchester England.

@thegoodgoodlife1 11 лет назад

I love how you are so positive about all of this! Its nice to know you are now eating healthy and lets hope you are 200% free of cancer, cause youtube isn't the same without you :)

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thanks so much for the kind words!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thank you, i hope it fills out as the skin gets more flexible!

@Arghavan12 11 лет назад

Great video as always! I'm so glad the surgery went well and hopefully your arm will heal very and you will totally forget about it:)

@Crazyladydarcy 11 лет назад

I have so much admiration for you! You are such an inspirational girl and always make me laugh. Chin up and i'm sure everything will be ok xx Samantha from England x

@christalaidlaw 10 лет назад

I commend you for blogging your experience; you have given many women a reason to care for their body and perhaps give a loved one to do so. Much love to you sister...

@hattiejones2605 4 года назад

Christa Laidlaw thank you for sharing your story

@mhj1290 11 лет назад

I'm so glad everything is doing well. You are very wise :) Best of wishes for you. A big hug!

@knbor 11 лет назад

I had pre-melanoma in the exact same spot! I'm 17, have had pre-melanoma taken out twice, and grew up in orange county where people are outside in the sun CONSTANTLY. Thanks for sharing your story I hope it makes people more wary of staying in the sun too long!

@aucurlsnaturelle 11 лет назад

your skin tone is so super gorgeous!!!! i love it! you so pretty! and those eyes? sheeeew :D

@EllenB703 11 лет назад

Wow! What a story....you are one of the bravest persons on this planet. I am sooo glad that you are OK. Actually, even though you've been through one of the most scary life events that anyone would have to go through, you look very healthy. I truly believe in supplements...if a person cannot get the nutrients they need from what they eat daily, supplements are a godsend. Keep up the positive and cheery attitude! It wears well on you. Again, I am so glad you are cancer-free!

@bambino7538 11 лет назад

thanks for making this video, im 20 and i have a suspicious mole im going to the doctors about next week [it just hasnt seemed right and ive put it off for 6 months] but you were really informative and i realy loved seeing your attitude it made me less worried (: hope everythings ok with you now xx

@lollsazz 11 лет назад

When people have cancer, it help not eating a lot of sugar (althoughbut it's quite difficult) because cancerous cells need a lot of sugar for growth - that is why your mom doesn't let you eat a cot of carbs (sugar). You're very beautiful, and thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. Good luck on the recovery! :)

@alabamajenny8751 3 года назад

So glad you are ok! Smart girl. Stay vigilant! All the love and blessings!

@christalaidlaw 10 лет назад

What a hero... I myself am 33 and just 5 days ago underwent a melanoma excision... Let me start here: beginning of July 2013 I approached my GP with concerns of a festering 5 year 'spot''. She thought it benign, but after a week opted to send me for another opinion.

@4TheStalkerGirl 11 лет назад

My grandfather had two skin cancers removed from his head about a month ago!!! He's feeling pretty good now but that was a rough time too!!! I'm happy you're feeling better!!! And this makes me think about starting to eat better too -.-'....!!! Keep strong!!!!

@kar120cus 11 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your situation. Glad that you are getting better. You look beautiful as usual. Take care of yourself. Love you much!

@a2340681 9 лет назад

I wanna thank you for making this video that makes me better and positive. I'm 22, and I think I have "melanoma skin cancer" from my friend's call cause she's a nurse. in order to make sure, I will go see a doctor and get surgery if it's necessary. I feel so bad and sad cause I have a lot of things need to do now, and this issue might stop me... Thank you again ;-)

@BookxxWorm91 11 лет назад

Did you ever upload a part 3. I was very interested in watching it. Im getting this mole on my palm looked at in a couple of weeks, and i been watching and reading everything i can find on melanoma on the net i can find.

@LauraHerchel 11 лет назад

You are so strong :) So glad that everything is going well!

@iriswilliamson1133 4 года назад

What a darling, thoughtful young lady you are! And your mother sounds like a gem. Best of luck to you and God Bless.

@tussilein2012 11 лет назад

so hilarious and i'm so happy to know everything ran smoothly for everyone but the nurse:)

@bonitaclark4356 7 лет назад

Thank you for sharing. my 28 year old daughter was diagnosed Friday with Stage 4 melanoma cancer. She had a mole removed from her cheek. not far from her eye. but The Dr. is sending her to a Melanoma cancer clinic at UMC in Jackson MS. as her Mother. I am terrified. I wish you the best. thank you for sharing your story. Keep The Faith.

@leleiskindofcool 6 лет назад

Is your daughter alright? That must be very difficult.

@rebeccawright5987 5 лет назад

I'm so sorry. I hope your daughter is doing well.

@dianewilliamson428 9 лет назад

Thank you for sharing. I accidentally stumbled on your vlog. You are too cute and real with a warm personality. That's a good reminder for us all. I will make sure I get my mole checked out too.

@KDubTwin2 8 лет назад

Thank you for sharing. You have a great attitude. I just found out I have melanoma on my right elbow. I go in on Tuesday to have it removed. I'm old though, 58:). I also have 3 squamous cell spots that will be removed. It's good to keep the bandage on like you do, helps keep people from bumping into it. Best of luck to you and your recovery!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

yay, glad to hear it!!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thanks! i've been rubbing it alot. it's pretty weird, even now, when i play tug of war with my dog and i guess my skin is being stretched it will tingle a ton. still needs to keep healing!

@wandalinkins3108 5 лет назад

Hello Chelsea,i'm going through the same thing's your going through now.i have squeamish cell on my arm and basil cell on my leg.never had any kind of cancer.thank you for giving me information whats going to happen next.prayers are with you and for you and your family.

@lisettesbeaute 11 лет назад

So so sorry that you had to go through this:( Glad youre ok

@marigomez77 11 лет назад

Hi Chelsea! I`m glad your are doing well.. you are right.. health is everything.. take good care of yourself girl! xo

@RachelMassey2531 11 лет назад

Sorry you had to go through this but I am so glad all is well. Hope your scar heals well! Where is your top and nailpolish from? They match sooo well and look so good together!

@remmary100 11 лет назад

Your so brave! I bet your Mom is so proud . Don't we all want our Mommy when we're sick? You go girl. Thanks for getting us all thinking about getting a skin check.

@WavingFan 11 лет назад

Hey Chelsea :) Glad to hear you're doing well! Purely out of curiosity, did you have any symptoms of melanoma with that mole, like itching or burning? I always tell myself that I don't need to get anything checked or worry about it if I am not having any problems with it (which I know is NOT good since I'm about as fair as you). I have a major phobia of dermatologists (and doctors in general...)

@dinkypeas 11 лет назад

Chelsea you're hilarious and you are awesome for sharing your story! and don't worry too much about scarring! Also, you should check 'oh she glows' if you haven't already, there's recipes for juicing and tonnes of other recipes! glad you're okay now!

@stev9079 11 лет назад

It sucks you had to wait so long to get surgery, but I'm so glad you're better! Your mom sounds like an amazing mom. Try not to worry about the dent in your arm, you're beautiful no matter what!

@staceymae32186 10 лет назад

Please do an update on this.....I am going through this now and want to know more

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

omg!! i hope everything goes well!!!

@mutantformula 11 лет назад

Glad you're feeling better x

@teacupblog 11 лет назад

Loved this, I'm glad the surgery went so well. I laughed so hard at the farting part. When I was under anaesthetic once I remember just crying and crying and crying and then just laughing hysterically. Man... it was an emotional time. Those drugs make you crazy! Big love xx

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thank you, all better now!

@pinkabuki 11 лет назад

I hope you heal well! I'd be curious to see how the wound/scar looks.

@glamkitten8388 11 лет назад

My grandmother had a Melanoma patch on the left side of her face. You can still see a bit of scarring left over even years later, but most of it has cleared. I hope everything goes well for you in life. Seeing her scarring reminds me so much of the benefits of SPF. Her doctor has since then recommended Clinique to wear. Never would have considered that but hey if it works why not.

@Enrique1106 11 лет назад

Chelsea you are so beautiful inside and outside, the scar in your beautiful arm is the signal of your life ,god bless you and give you health, and bless all your family.You are so sweet young girl and your courage showed in this video make you a very special person. :)

@SuperRisass 11 лет назад

You are beautiful inside and out. Glad to see that you have taken such a positive attitude, I am sure that life will bring positive things equally. You are an example to follow. Best wishes from Galicia.

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

true story -- it's mostly in my head!

@laureng8rb 11 лет назад

You're really inspiring. I wish you the best.

@dariomartinez4169 6 лет назад

Thanks for your video. I am a physician and I really appreciate that you have taken time to post this video for other people to watch and make the right decisions when it comes to preventive medicine. There was a part in your video (which I won't mention) that made me laugh so hard! it was really funny... I had to play it twice as I asked myself "did she really say that?" lol. I wish you a full and permanent recovery.

@KristieYoder72 11 лет назад

Thank you!! Do you freak when you get new freckles? I have been treated but now I look at all new growth as suspicious. The constant removals and biopsy are getting to be so crazy. I need to learn more about prevention and diet. I just had something removed from my lip. How have you dealt with the after....melanoma?

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

great story -- learning to embrace it! thank you!

@g00dnightmorning 11 лет назад

So glad you're okay! I went to the derm after your last video. She actually ended up removing a suspicious mole on my leg, buuuuuut it turned out to be benign. So yay! Thanks for the kick in the ass. Also, we're obv dent scar sistas for lyfe; don't sweat it.

@carmenmarie5975 3 года назад

I like your upbeat, positive spirit, and hope you are doing well! Stay safe.👍🙂

@lucyvargas4565 8 лет назад

You're amazing! this was so laid back and calming despite the fact that melanoma Is so serious I was freaking out when I found a weird looking mole on my leg and went into full panic mode basically the whole day i just felt like this was a walking death sentence on my leg haha and seeing this was just so amazing! I'm so glad I found your video! thanks so much.

@kristinrangel3705 7 лет назад

Lucy Vargas Hello! I was wondering what happened when you had it looked at? I just had a biopsy yesterday, and I'm so nervous!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

hope it went well!!

@TwistedFoolPT 11 лет назад

Hi Chelsea! After surgery (and after stiches come out too) we usually recommend people to massage the skin with Nivea cream (the one in the blue tin - I don't think there's any other reason besides it's cheap and people aren't usually allergic to it). The massage over the scar makes it heal better, not create weird adhesions and, all in all, make it a pretty scar. Maybe it could help a bit with the dent! Glad everything went all right! =)

@klm10570 5 лет назад

@chelseawears how’s the dent going now? I got a melanoma off my ankle recently and it’s got a dent - just wondering if it improved with time.

@Enraptur777 10 лет назад

I think your the only person who can make cancer funny! Glad everything turned out well. ;)

@MsAaannaaa 11 лет назад

girlcrush! i really like your attitude and your sense of humor. i wish you all the best :-) hi from berlin (germany)!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thanks -- can't recall the nail polish now, but the shirt was from gap!

@MsHenna001 11 лет назад

So glad to hear that you're doing well =)

@Vettechemma 11 лет назад

Glad you're okay and thank you for sharing your experience! I think no one'll be paying attention to the dent, you shouldn't be self-conscious!

@Mui205 11 лет назад

Big hugs to you. Glad your feeling better. Your so funny and thanks for sharing. You could use a ace bandage wrap to wrap around it too.

@hautehunting 11 лет назад

Loved the Voldemort reference! Glad you're starting to heal! Thanks again for being honest about all of this! Went to get a freaky looking thing on my toe checked and luckily it was a weird old scar that never healed right, my mom even said to tell that "RU-vid lady" thanks :)

@andreaeiriksdottir 11 лет назад

I am so happy to hear that the melanoma is gone, their is no better news than that!!! Best wishes.

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

they were!! apparently it can be really hard to read but i was walking around with melanoma for 8+ months!

@vreed27 10 лет назад

Glad to hear you are changing your diet. That will help you a lot!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

i try i try i need to get my taste buds used to veggies. i have a hard time with bitter flavors and im so weird about texture -- tomatoes make me want to barf. working on it each day!

@ChelseaWears 11 лет назад

thank you, all better now

@amixeblu 11 лет назад

It sucks of course, but you're so lucky you caught it early. A member of my family has terminal cancer, they caught it too late (she only complained of something when the pain arose and by then it was all over inside of her). It's such a powerless feeling realizing that nothing can be done anymore. Anyway, I hope you continue to do well. My best wishes! :-)
