25.01.2022 Today is International Listening Day - So Listen UP! Know your cancers! Not all skin cancers are the same, but it’s important to be educated on the signs and severity of all common types. Multiple symptoms can occur so, on your next visit to your GP or Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist ask what are the Symptoms and are you at risk?... Having your ears checked regularly by your doctor is an action of prevention.

17.01.2022 Here’s an eerie fact for you - our ears are one of the most common spots for a squamous cell carcinoma to develop! Don’t count on your hat to provide full ear protection - we all need to be applying sunscreen to the ears too! This summer, don’t let the little things get away from you. Make sure every crevice of your body is sunscreened up!

11.01.2022 No one is immune from skin melanoma, even reality stars like the Kardashians! Khloe Kardashian has had two skin cancer scares, one of which resulted in the removal of a painful 20 centimetres of skin on her back - ouch! Khloe now gets skin check-ups every three months, and urges us all to do the same! ... We can’t all be reality stars, but we can all keep our skin healthy by doing the right thing and being sun safe!

05.01.2022 Great research being done https://sydney.edu.au//new-test-to-help-predict-primary-me#

05.01.2022 Great news yesterday still clear and NED (no evidence of Disease) Backing up today with my home infusion of Nivolumab immunotherapy.

05.01.2022 Today was my last immunotherapy infusion for Nivolumab (Opdivo). It has been a long 2 year process, but grateful to be NED, so a big thank you to my home infusion nurse Michelle.

03.01.2022 For an adult, the recommended application in Australia is 5mL (approximately one teaspoon) for each arm, leg, body front, body back and face (including neck and ears). That equates to a total of 35mL (approximately seven teaspoons) for a full body application. #melanoma #MatesAgainstMelanoma #MAM #skincancer #MakePreventionAHealthyHabit

03.01.2022 Here’s a little checklist for the next time you’re checking out swimmers... Opt for long sleeves over short sleeves! Check the UV Protective Factor of the swimmers pick some with a UPF of 50+! ... Look for darker or brighter colors, as these will absorb harmful sun rays more effectively than lighter colors! #summer2020 #sunsafechic #sunsafeselfiequeens

01.01.2022 Hi to all Mates Against Melanoma Supporters! I apologise for no communication since last year and hope you all had a happy & safe Xmas and new year season. As I re-started my immunotherapy treatment I have suffered with major fatigue which reduced the amount of work I was able to achieve. This is now starting to settle down and is allowing me more time to work on the charity again. I would like to thank you all for your continued support and believe 2020 will be a great year for all.

01.01.2022 Melanoma: The most serious form of skin cancer. Melanoma is a highly invasive form of cancer and is a cancer of the melanocytes. Not all melanomas will look the same, which is why it is important to apply the A.B.C.D.E of skin cancer when checking for symptoms - this refers to asymmetry, borders, colour, diameter and evolving, all of which can indicate that a mole or lesion is actually cancerous. In order to catch these cancers early, be sure to have regular check-ups with your doctor.
