Since writing this blog, I have had many people contact me sharing their story and asking advice. The majority of the people that write to me are Stage 1 melanoma patients, so I have decided to write this post for them. For those of you that don't have Stage 1 melanoma, I hope you still find it useful... and a little entertaining!
Here is my advice for you!
1. Three monthly skin checks
Annual skin checks are
recommended for the general population, but once you have been diagnosed with
Stage 1 Melanoma this changes. You are strongly recommended to have 3 monthly
skin checks for at least 2 years. It is only when you have not had a recurrence
that your 3 monthly skin checks can return to 12 monthly.
Three monthly skin checks will
aid in early detection and ensure you remain at Stage 1.
