A melanoma in Ray's leg required lifesaving amputation⎜Conquering Skin Cancer
When we think of melanomas and skin cancers, we have been told to look for any moles that are a bit odd, or changing over time. But a broader goal for us all is to just “know the skin you’re in”, because sometimes, skin cancers won’t even present as a visible mark on the skin.
Just as Ray, who would often joke around with his dermatologist about whether he had found anything before he started looking. But one particular day, Ray said yes- and presented a golf-ball sized lump on his leg, with no mark visible on his skin. His dermatologist’s shock quickly turned into action- and before Ray knew it, his only option to save his life was amputation.
Imagine feeling sick for two years straight, and then one day, you just wake up feeling younger and healthier than ever. As scary as amputation sounds, Ray reflected on feeling 21 again just two days after his leg was amputated- the melanoma had been affecting him for years.
His sense of humour could never be affected though. “If I’d had two legs, I would have jumped up and down!”
Your first line of defence is being familiar with your own skin. Prevention is key, but early detection is absolutely crucial in our mission to conquer skin cancer. Are you due for a skin check? Let this be your sign- and go and book one in!

    Thanks for your efforts to raise awareness about sun safety. Reading your message really hits home, as my brother Dan also battled skin cancer. Five years after having a skin cancer removed, we were devastated to learn it had spread to his brain and lungs. Before his diagnosis, I never realized that skin cancer could travel through the bloodstream and cause such widespread damage. Dan underwent brain surgery and was placed on a clinical trial. While the new treatment caused the cancer on his skin to shrink and disappear, it was sadly too late for him. He lost his voice and, ultimately, his life to this disease. I share this to emphasize how crucial early detection, prevention, and research are. Skin cancer can be a horrible, avoidable death, and stories like Dan’s show why we must support advancements in treatment and educate others. Let’s all enjoy the sun safely and protect ourselves with shade, sunscreen, and regular skin checks. Thank you again for shining a light on this issue and helping create a safer, sun-smart future. 🌞

      Thank you so much for sharing your story and Dan's- we are so sorry for your loss. The stories we hear when people have lost their lives to skin cancer are so powerful, and so devastating as it is such a preventable disease. We hope this film will educate and raise awareness for the importance of prevention, early detection, and treatment- and ultimately save lives. Thank you for your support of the film 💛

    Dont be ashamed. Youre not a doctor. When I got grown and knew fair skin with freckles was never going to tan I started wearing a tshirt outside, even in the water. And sunscreen. I had cancer on my back and on my left arm removed twice. Keep checking. Have a family member take your phone and video your back each month. You can keep track of changes. Thats how I knew the mole my daughter found was actually cancer. My dermatologist was impressed and printed a pamphlet to hand out using my technique.

When she was around five she got covered in moles all over her body, it wasn’t from sun damage! I miss her everyday she was the nice one, she was the kind one, she was thoughtful, and caring, she should have lived, I get so angry now because I have children and I understand that her parents would never get over their beautiful daughters death! ❤❤❤

      Yes, 100%! Exposure to UV radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer, with up to 95% of melanomas and 99% of non-melanoma skin cancer caused by repeated and over exposure to UV rays (Source: SunSmart & Cancer Council).

The last round they found it was starting to bond to his nerves and use them as corridors to move through his body….but we think they caught it early enough. I’m waiting to get in to the dermatologist for biopsies -- which terrifies me.
