@anna..papalia: On the third anniversary of my skin cancer surgery, here’s what I learned. I am really glad that I didn’t succumb to my grief and that I am here to tell you to wear sunscreen and keep going. I didn’t learn to love my scar I am not happy it happened I learned to live with it What’s that great Winston Churchill quote, “when going through hell, keep going” #skincancer #motivation #scar
Getting checked for melanoma next week. Wish me luck. I think it’s on my face too!

Probably one of the most helpful things you’ve ever put out there because it’s so real and so many people struggle with things. Truth be told I don’t see your scar at all. I don’t know if you have a filter or if you’ve had plastic surgery surgery, but there is no scar that is visible.

I’m sorry if this is intrusive, but could you show a closeup of your skin cancer? From what I can tell, it didn’t look very cancer like.

It looks like nothing ever happened. There’s no sign of it anymore. It healed beautifully—it’s completely gone now.

Think about it you thought about killing yourself over your looks. Where has this world gone?? You are alive and helping people. Your value is so much more. God bless you

I can’t even see the scar now. Do you always use a filter? Never noticed it when watching your videos before either.

I had the same exact experience, a little procedure and a few stitches. Nope. I wasn't prepared for the surgery, the scar, the changes to my face. It's taken about a year to heal emotionally and physically. But we did heal, we're here and we're healthy. My best to you💗

Wow, thank you for sharing that. That’s an incredible story. I’m so glad you are healthy now. You should really write your autobiography. I think you’ve had a fascinating life and you’re such an accomplished, brave and generous person.

Would you mind showing again the part on your nose that ended up being cancer? . I think I may have something similar.
