I’m back at Chevron Advanced Medical and Skin Cancer Clinic for a regular check-up with Dr. Andrew Thant. While my previous skin checks were routine, this visit took an unexpected turn.<br /><br />Despite being a busy mom, I’m so glad I prioritized this appointment. During the exam, Dr. Thant used a dermatoscope to find a suspicious spot on my right ear that he believes is a Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC).<br /><br />In this video:<br /><br />The Discovery: Watch the moment a routine check becomes a cancer scare.<br /><br />What is BCC? Dr. Thant explains the most common type of skin cancer and why early detection is key.<br /><br />The Biopsy: I walk you through the same-day punch biopsy process and getting stitches.<br /><br />The Lesson: Why you should never skip a skin check, even when life is busy.<br /><br />I feel very safe in Dr. Thant's care and am grateful we took action immediately. If you’re due for a check, please book it today—it could save your life.<br /><br />#SkinCancer #BCC #BasalCellCarcinoma #SkinCheck #Medical #Health #DrAndrewThant #Biopsy #Dermatology #Australia
