i know id find it hard to blame myself if i was her, i hope this sweet wonderful family finds peace and know they did everything they could for her... from the sound of things they gave her the best life they could provide they should be proud their daughter would be im sure
@MsDarkCello My grandpa said he could’ve done more and he did very good for himself. It’s in human nature to believe we could’ve done more. My next question is do you think with all the poison we have been eating and bathing in, could that have a cancerous effect on not just this girl but millions of people out there?
I had over 40 moles on my body that I had a plastic surgeon remove. You can't even see the stitch marks now, it's been so long, but I'm so relieved that I don't have to worry about it anymore.
@@Sea-Bass i have many birthmarks.. i’ve had quite a few “sun spots” grow over the years and i absolutely adore them.. is it necessary to remove them or can i just have them checked out? i love all my birth marks and sun spots so much i don’t think i could remove them 😔
I hate hearing about stuff like this because my brother in law died from skin cancer I feel for anyone that has to go through a terrible tragedy like this
My uncle died from this--65 years of being a rancher and the lesion that killed him was on his back in a spot that was never exposed to the sun. People need to realize that cancerous moles can appear in areas that dont get exposure. Also: ITS A MYTH THAT DARK SKINNED PEOPLE DONT GET IT. Only other person I knew who died from melanoma was a black guy on my ship. He had a mole under his hair that bled when he cut it shaving his head and never really healed up. By the time he thought to go to a doctor about it it was way too late. It had spread everywhere. He was 39 years old.
That's the scariest place that it could happen -- under the hair! He was shaving his head and even he noticed it too late. But if you have a full head of hair, how do you stand a chance? You can't easily see what's going on under there. That's so difficult. Good reason to wear a hat as much as possible! But you could still get it as you pointed out with your uncle! Awful.
Yes my best friend was a dark skinned African American and she died with skin cancer. She had a sore under her toenail that would not heal she went to the doctor after 6 mos and it was too late. Everyone should get a skin check by their PCP or dermatologist. I made sure my family got skin checks and we are African Americans.
I found out I had cancer through a mole when I was 18 at an OB appointment. I went months with it itching and it grew a white halo around it.. so thought nothing of it. Put a bandaid over it and kept living. I remember telling my Dr. I scratched it off my mistake and when they saw it they were horrified. I still took having cancer lightly. Almost 29 years later I’m here and I try to warn people all the time.
I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather. I lost my brother to this too. He was 39 years old. He had a birthmark on his head which turned to cancer.
@@DeeDee-mp7fd Thank you for your thoughts. It’s so hard to see a loved one struggle!! I am so very sorry you lost your brother at such a young age to this also. ❤
When I was younger, physicians gave physical exams with patients in the nude - they examined the entire body, checked gait, posture, eyesight, look into every orifice, checked joints and muscles, fingernails, hair, etc., but nowadays they ask you how you’re doing and send you for bloodwork - fifteen minutes and done. You could have fifteen toes and the mole the size of a baby’s head on your ass and they wouldn’t notice! I have even been to specialists who write in the record that they’ve visually inspected, palpated, touched body parts when they absolutely did not. What a farce!
About a year ago, I found a odd looking mark on my lower leg. I called to get an appointment with a dermatologist. There was an 8 MONTH wait to get into one, 7 months for another. This was WITH me telling them it wasn't routine, that I had a concern. The mark eventually subsided on it's own, but let me tell you, if you need a skin check and have to wait that long, you could be in real trouble. RIP young lady.
Yes, dermatologists are a long wait for an appt. But here's a tip... If you can't get into a derm quick enough, go to a plastic surgeon. Their specialty is skin surgery. You can get into a plastic surgeon much quicker and they will remove the spot very nicely and send it for a biopsy. I did this very thing several years ago when I couldn't get a derm appt for six months. I called a plastic surgeon and got an appt a few weeks out.
These news are the reason i panic at small mole. And my doctor gets irritated at me. Nobody knows when you get cancer so sorry for being vigilant about my health.
Maybe you need a new doctor. I had a doctor like that and I don’t have her as my doctor like that. It’s ok to be cautious. Whenever you feel concerned about something ask for a referral to whoever specializes in that specific thing you’re concerned about
@@peggydelozier8636had a dr like that too and she constantly dismissed me. Concerns over health shouldn’t frustrate them, it’s their job to help and inform you
@@jeffk4710Please just make an appointment to go see a dermatologist. It's better to be safe than sorry. I had melanoma on my arm,and they had to go down deep and cut it out.
I just got my first check after many years, as someone with a cancer history, I need to be more careful. Thank you for sharing this story, it helps others be more aware, though it’s awful that this happened to the sweet girl.
My neighbor lost her 22 year-old daughter to melanoma--detected in the liver. Very sad. Check your skin--even the private areas. If your dermatologist is not thorough, find another. Look at your skin and that of your loved ones.
So very sad. I was lucky my dog found my melanoma in my arm at 31. My dog would dig and bite a mole on my arm so went in to have it removed, that's when we found out what it really was. I do yearly checkups and watch my exposure now. Teaching my daughter now so she's aware to look out for herself.
My hairdresser found something odd, which I couldn’t feel, and sure enough it was cancer! Had it removed 30 years ago. Last place I would have thought to check!
Someone else had mentioned that men with thinning hair or who are bald (anyone in general, but usually men) should also be careful about protecting their scalp since it is has more exposure to UV rays and is often neglected when it comes to sun protection. Wearing hats isn’t just to protect the face, the scalp is important too.
There is a program that exists to train hair stylists and barbers to recognize the signs of melanoma on the scalp, so that they can recommend their clients visit their doctors for a dermatologist visit.
They reported at end of this , if you see something changing , see a dermatologist right away. Took me 6 months to get my right away appointment. I called around many doctors trying to be seen. It was indeed skin cancer, I’m fortunate not melanoma. Hope others don’t have as frustrating an experience as me .
Going to make an appointment for a skin check because of this young lady. I'm considered high risk naturally due to dark hair, light skin, and having moles/freckles. RIP 🙏🏻💐
@Uknownuser3193 Yup, always on the hunt for a decent deal on the good sunscreen brands out here. Thankfully, I at least tend to tan instead of burn, so at least there's that 🤷🏻♀️😂
@Kwildcat13lol enjoy being unintelligent much buddy? Shut up yapping no one cares. Don’t wear sun screen and see where that gets you because it won’t be anyone else’s problem other than yours.
So sad. My dad had skin cancer on his head, thankfully he is balding so he caught it in time and survived. My heart goes out to the family, she looks like she was a ray of sunshine. ❤
Dermatologist don’t do their job these days. I’ve had concerning marks and all they say it “we will watch that”…. But WHY DONT THEY JUST CUT IT OFF to start with ? Lazy!
I've gone to a dermatologist twice a year for exams since my 20s.....had an early evolving melanoma on my leg at that time. When in doubt, take it out. I also had full body photos taken to see if anything ever changed. We forget that our skin is our largest organ. My condolences to her family....
My 4 year old had this weird mark I’ve been worried about since his birth at one point it even peeled? I took him to go get it seen but they brushed it off saying it wasn’t a big deal however this video really is making me scared and I will be making a doctors appointment to get it taken cared of asap. Thank you for the warning and so sorry to this beautiful girl who lost her life.
A birthmark can turn into a cancer later in life. That’s what the Dr told my parents when I was born with a large dark one on my right arm. It was removed and replaced with a skin graft when I was about 4 years old. Early 1960’s. I would like to thank my parents but they’re both gone now.
Im tired of hearing doctors say “this type of disease only affects people this age or this old” and they need to stop saying that because in reality it can happen at any age. My son had appendicitis at 2 years old and no body thought it was that because “it doesn’t usually happen in kids his age”
Obviously a picture before she lost her toe. I don’t think it was actually a birthmark. A birthmark is there from birth so I am sure she would have had a picture with her feet, in at least one photo.
I have two tips. Number one, you should be seeing a dermatologist for skin check every year. It is very hard to get into a dermatologist office as a new patient. It's a very long wait. So schedule an appointment now and have your skin checked and go every year. Then you will stay as a current patient at that office. Then if you have a funny mole come up you can get an appointment much quicker because your current patient. The second tip is if you're not a current patient at a dermatologist office, and you have anything funny on your skin and you can't get an appointment at the dermatologist office soon enough, then call a plastic surgeon's office. Plastic surgeons specialize in skin surgery and they can cut the spot out just as easily and send it for a biopsy. And you can usually get into a plastic surgeon's office much quicker than a dermatologist as a new patient.
Oh I'm also a GMU student! It feels strange that something so close to me just happened. We should appreciate our life and may God help the family, Ameen. 🌸
You can usually get in quicker to a plastic surgeon. Skin surgery is their specialty. I did it a few years when I couldn't get a derm appt for a mole for 6 months out. I got an appt at a plastic surgeons office just a few weeks later. They can remove it and send it for a biopsy for you.
God bless this family. I recently lost my mom to stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma so now the word cancer truly has a different meaning to me. It isn't fair that we can be walking around with deadly diseases & not know it til its too late. RIP sweet girl ❤❤
Thank you for sharing I have an evolved birthmark & a mole that has changed too. My ignorance tells me I’m black, so I don’t think it’s urgent but I know I’m not exempt from skin cancer. This segment has me shook. I’m getting checked out immediately!
I agree. The father said a lil strawberry. My 2 year old daughter has a born with a lil strawberry birthmark well thats what the docs told us it was called its a red birthmark. Now im kinda of concern
This is the second case Ive heard in my life of people dying after develloping melanoma on a toe. I wonder how common it is? And how many people just think they banged their toe on something.
@@sblb9852 I knew an elderly woman whose husband had a splotch under his big toe nail, which he thought he had received by hitting his toe on something. He ignored it until he was in a healthclub with a doctor friend who saw his toe and told him to go to the ER straight away. The man was dead from melanoma within six months at the age of 60 yrs.
Melanomas are of different varieties. Those happening because of sun are most common on trunk and have good prognosis. There's a variant of great toe which has bad prognosis.
That's awful. I had to wait 7 months to see a dermatologist for 5 minutes and I still have worsening issues. Maybe that check up wouldn't have helped, they should not be tough on themselves on what ifs.
…And no recommendation for an annual screening? Early detection entails regular screenings. If it’s the 2nd most common cancer amongst teens and young adults, why am I just learning this? Failed system.
There are an awful lot of these stories circulating atm, so many youngsters dying,suddenly and unexpectedly,,,,, ffs, I wonder why? What’s happened in the past few years to cause all of these deaths and sicknesses?
Her poor mother. You didn’t do anything wrong. You are a beautiful woman who lost her child and I can’t imagine what you’re going through. For whatever reason, God needs her more in heaven than we do on earth. I know you’re probably never fully heal but I hope you see your daughter in the beautiful moments in life every day.
When the mom said “thinking about that.. what we did wrong” just absolutely broke my heart 💔💔💔💔 It’s not your fault mama, none of us are perfect, even at our very best. Will be praying for you and your family ❤️🩹❤️🕊️
It's better to wait, then to not go and see one at all. This seems to be a problem for everyone. Dermatologist are always booked out for months,no matter where you go.
It's just so crappy that cancer can quickly sneak up on you and kill you. Scary to go from happy and healthy, to sick and dying in a hospital. Glad my gramma is still here, would've truly sucked if cancer took her.
It is sad because this is the failure of the medical system. There was no reason for her to die I cannot stand cancer doctors who sit there and do not check patients after they have cancer body scans should be a mandatory thing every year for anyone who has cancer
I suffered severe sun damage as a child which left me with sun spots from an early age. I had my first skin cancer screening appt in Florida and the doctor spent 2 minutes doing a whole body scan using only eyes... I have suns spots and moles all over it, so it surprised me that an exam could be that fast and the cost was between $200-300.... Not long after that I noticed a small rough patch on my back (I can't really see back there myself). Not sure what it yet, it's already been 8 months and it's still there. 🤬
Oh my! What a beautiful family! I’m so sorry that they lost their beautiful princess so early on! Thank you for sharing your story to help others through your grief!!! 💜
R.I.P. Sad. On the flipside, not getting any sun or being constantly afraid of it, can lead to many other health issues too. We need some sun, Vit. D and K2 (always with K2.) Low Vit. D is a health disaster. Melanoma develops in areas that don't get sun. Some say it is from a Vit. D deficiency- ironically. We really, really need Vit. D.
What I thought was a pimple on the side of my face and ended up being squamous cell carcinoma. I am 32 years old now, but at the time I was 30 years old and was very shocked because I do not have any family history of skin, cancer, and, I have medium tan complexion, my family is from Guatemala so I have darker features and I grew up in San Francisco, not a super sunny place. The dermatologist was very surprised and asked me if I had a really bad sunburn when I was a child, but I didn’t. I wear sunscreen religiously now and get a skin check of my complete body every six months.
Aww the mom seems to blame herself, almost as if thinking they could have done more :,( but this is nobody's fault!
I saw that too. My heart breaks for her 💔
I know. 😢you can hear it in her voice.
As a mom, it’s impossible not to blame yourself 💔

She may have lived a short life but it was a full, love-filled life
That's scary because my daughter has a birthmark and it's getting bigger I'm going to get it checked out
Get it removed regardless. I’ve had melanoma twice.
Just get in removed and checked out !!!!!! Don't Fk around with her life, just get it done, your family needs you !

Get a second opinion
They really need to fix the title, melanomas are not present at birth. Its not a birthmark
A birthmark can turn into a cancer later in life. That’s what the Dr told my parents when I was born with a large dark one on my right arm. It was removed and replaced with a skin graft when I was about 4 years old. Early 1960’s.

It was on her toe. They had to amputate the toe. You can't show something that isn't there. Lol
GONE with the TOE, YEARS ago!!

So sorry for your loss.. sending hugs and love
I have two tips. Number one, you should be seeing a dermatologist for skin check every year. It is very hard to get into a dermatologist office as a new patient. It's a very long wait. So schedule an appointment now and have your skin checked and go every year. Then you will stay as a current patient at that office. Then if you have a funny mole come up you can get an appointment much quicker because your current patient.
The second tip is if you're not a current patient at a dermatologist office, and you have anything funny on your skin and you can't get an appointment at the dermatologist office soon enough, then call a plastic surgeon's office. Plastic surgeons specialize in skin surgery and they can cut the spot out just as easily and send it for a biopsy. And you can usually get into a plastic surgeon's office much quicker than a dermatologist as a new patient.
A former classmate of mine died from melanoma, she unfortunately used tanning beds/booths a lot.

You can usually get in quicker to a plastic surgeon. Skin surgery is their specialty. I did it a few years when I couldn't get a derm appt for a mole for 6 months out. I got an appt at a plastic surgeons office just a few weeks later. They can remove it and send it for a biopsy for you.

i didn’t know birthmarks could become cancer
So sorry for your loss, beautiful girl
May your beautiful girl rest in eternal peace ❤ so sorry for your beautiful loss from Ireland
This is the second case Ive heard in my life of people dying after develloping melanoma on a toe. I wonder how common it is? And how many people just think they banged their toe on something.

My derm told me spots on hands and feet are more likely to be something concerning.
@@sblb9852 I knew an elderly woman whose husband had a splotch under his big toe nail, which he thought he had received by hitting his toe on something. He ignored it until he was in a healthclub with a doctor friend who saw his toe and told him to go to the ER straight away. The man was dead from melanoma within six months at the age of 60 yrs.
@@mikeD1234 I know someone whose husband died the same way, cancer under the big toenail. Crazy.
Melanomas are of different varieties. Those happening because of sun are most common on trunk and have good prognosis. There's a variant of great toe which has bad prognosis.
Devastating loss for this family of a beautiful, precious daughter. Sincerest condolences.
As an Australian yes skin cancer doesnt hurt just older people
Is it to do the genes carried for skin cancer disposition
I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace 🤍
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hard to know and prevent.
That's awful.
I had to wait 7 months to see a dermatologist for 5 minutes and I still have worsening issues.
Maybe that check up wouldn't have helped, they should not be tough on themselves on what ifs.
God bless her she was so young she's in a better place with our Lord and Savior RIP 😢
Thanks for sharing I need to do a video of my son’s cancer journey. He was missed diagnosed for years
Absolutely heartbreaking. So very sorry.
…And no recommendation for an annual screening? Early detection entails regular screenings. If it’s the 2nd most common cancer amongst teens and young adults, why am I just learning this? Failed system.
Thats so terrible and sad. Scary as well🙏😔 RIP
There are an awful lot of these stories circulating atm, so many youngsters dying,suddenly and unexpectedly,,,,, ffs, I wonder why? What’s happened in the past few years to cause all of these deaths and sicknesses?
Thank you so much to this family for sharing their beautiful daughter’s story.
That poor Mom looks so broken😢
Her poor mother. You didn’t do anything wrong. You are a beautiful woman who lost her child and I can’t imagine what you’re going through. For whatever reason, God needs her more in heaven than we do on earth. I know you’re probably never fully heal but I hope you see your daughter in the beautiful moments in life every day.
This is so fkg fkd up. I am so sorry.
So heartbreaking 💔
Where I live, there is only one dermatologist. It takes months to get an appointment. I imagine this is true in a lot of other areas as well.
I hope the parents will accept that their beautiful surprise baby daughter was an angel blessing their family during her twenty years on earth. Peace.
So heartbreaking. I feel so bad for these parents.
Melanoma shows up everywhere on the body. I have heard of cases of it in the groin areas that never see any sun. I so sorry for their huge loss.
When the mom said “thinking about that.. what we did wrong” just absolutely broke my heart 💔💔💔💔 It’s not your fault mama, none of us are perfect, even at our very best. Will be praying for you and your family ❤️🩹❤️🕊️
The wait is so long to get into a dermatology.
It's better to wait, then to not go and see one at all. This seems to be a problem for everyone. Dermatologist are always booked out for months,no matter where you go.
Have your REGULAR doctor check you FIRST! S/HE CAN get you an appointment with a SPECIALIST, VERY QUICKLY!!!
@@m.jaquarius8365OK, DRUG ADDICT!!!
@@Tryp-j9d Exactly! Get a referral!
It's just so crappy that cancer can quickly sneak up on you and kill you. Scary to go from happy and healthy, to sick and dying in a hospital. Glad my gramma is still here, would've truly sucked if cancer took her.
Cancer sucks !!! 🙈🙈😡😡🤮🤮
Heartbreaking 😢thank you for sharing and trying to warn others. Your daughter was so pretty,so sorry for your loss.
🙏sorry for your loss. Ur daughter seems very happy she was born to you 2 :)
I’m having my daughters birth mark removed immediately it’s changing
Prayers for the family.
Primary Dr can do skin checks during a physical,then send patient to a dermatologist. This should be routine.
It is sad because this is the failure of the medical system. There was no reason for her to die I cannot stand cancer doctors who sit there and do not check patients after they have cancer body scans should be a mandatory thing every year for anyone who has cancer
May the souls of the departed R.I.P.Amen✝️Rest in Peace beautiful Marie✝️
she was a blessing. so sorry for your loss.
1 in 5 adults, wow!
You did nothing wrong, mama💔💔💔💔💔
This is making me cry. I’m so sorry.
How tragic and also, quite frankly, shocking that this young lady's life was taken so soon.
I suffered severe sun damage as a child which left me with sun spots from an early age. I had my first skin cancer screening appt in Florida and the doctor spent 2 minutes doing a whole body scan using only eyes... I have suns spots and moles all over it, so it surprised me that an exam could be that fast and the cost was between $200-300.... Not long after that I noticed a small rough patch on my back (I can't really see back there myself). Not sure what it yet, it's already been 8 months and it's still there. 🤬
Extremely sad.. 😔
RIP MARIE
Rest easy Gorgeous young woman
This was so incredibly sad. 😢 mannn. Hang in there, parents. Strength to the family, especially Momma.
I'm very very sorry! My brother died of skin cancer too it was just a mole and killed my wonderfull young brother is terrible!
RIP 🩵🙏🏾🪽
Oh my! What a beautiful family! I’m so sorry that they lost their beautiful princess so early on! Thank you for sharing your story to help others through your grief!!! 💜
R.I.P. Sad. On the flipside, not getting any sun or being constantly afraid of it, can lead to many other health issues too. We need some sun, Vit. D and K2 (always with K2.) Low Vit. D is a health disaster. Melanoma develops in areas that don't get sun. Some say it is from a Vit. D deficiency- ironically. We really, really need Vit. D.
I saw a Japanese Documentary about the importance of Vit. D and also prevention of the word “C!”
Yes, I heard too Low vitamin d can lead to skin cancer
What I thought was a pimple on the side of my face and ended up being squamous cell carcinoma. I am 32 years old now, but at the time I was 30 years old and was very shocked because I do not have any family history of skin, cancer, and, I have medium tan complexion, my family is from Guatemala so I have darker features and I grew up in San Francisco, not a super sunny place. The dermatologist was very surprised and asked me if I had a really bad sunburn when I was a child, but I didn’t. I wear sunscreen religiously now and get a skin check of my complete body every six months.
