‘For those of you who are not familiar with my melanoma story, I had early-stage melanoma 10 years ago when I was 20.
‘Doctors believe this is the source of the melanoma that has now been detected in my lymph nodes (which is very unusual considering it’s been 10 years).
‘This was detected after I sought a third opinion on a lump that appeared in my armpit in November.
‘An important reminder to always seek a second, third or fourth opinion if you feel something is not right.’
