My Skin Tried to Kill Me
This is my story:

Late November 2024, whilst shaving my legs, I saw a spot to my right achilles heel and had to do a double take as I already had a freckle on my ankle, and it seemed to have multiplied. It was new and slightly raised as you can see from the photo it looked like a freckle because it wasn’t dark or black like most people think melanoma appears to present.

I am very religious with having annual skin cancer examinations with my skin doctor and had a full skin examination end of July 2024 and was given the “all clear”. Once I saw this new spot, I booked in to have it examined. At first it appeared to be benign but after discussion it was agreed to do a biopsy and send it to the lab for testing.

Two days later, I received the dreaded news that no one wants to hear…. “Sherene, your suspicions were correct, it has come back as Stage II Melanoma”. Initially I was in shock, how did this even happen? I always wear sunscreen, hat and seek shade whenever possible but here I was ….. I have cancer.

I then went and had the melanoma removed by our lovely dermatologist – Dr Adrian Mulholland who also had to check lymph nodes to ensure that the cancer had not spread. After treatment for the melanoma, I am now having 3 monthly skin checks.

The biggest shock apart from my cancer diagnosis was the response from friends and family “you will be fine why are you so worried? Its just like a bcc…..” NO friends and family melanoma is NOT like a bcc. Melanoma is aggressive and kills people. Unlike other cancers that respond well to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, melanoma doesn’t. This why people who are diagnosed with Stage 3 or 4 were told 10 years ago that they had 5 years to live. Lucky with the amazing work from the Melanoma Institute who developed immunotherapy as a treatment for melanoma, we are now seeing 50% of patients living beyond the 5 years but there is still a lot of work to be done.

Therefore, I am participating in the annual Melanoma March at Coolangatta on 12 April and helping raise funds and awareness to everyone on the importance of sun protection, regular skin cancer checks and self-skin checks. I am personally now a cancer survivor, and this was from identifying a new lesion and acting on it quickly. Melanoma can progress to Stage 4 in as little as 6 weeks.

My question is to everyone reading this, when was the last time you had your skin checked???

The Melanoma Institutes goal is zero deaths from Melanoma. Please support this walk and sponsor me on the link below.
