Are you in fact a dermatologist? Yes skin cancer is treatable if caught early but I have witnessed first hand what skin cancer can do if not found early. My father died (when I was 11 years old, I am now 34) from melanoma found in a mole on his back. They had to skin graph a large chunk of his leg to replace the skin missing on his back and endure chemo and radiation treatments for a long time before passing away. Skin cancer is not something to treat lightly and thank god there are more advanced treatments now a days to help people who are diagnosed. I also had a coworker within the last year find out that a mole she had removed was in the early stages of developing cancer, luckily they removed everything and she was cleared but she went through hell for weeks thinking of what it could have been. I am so happy that Ali has promoted the fact that we should all get our skin checked and I hope it was a wake up call to anyone that may be thinking that a mole that looks a bit odd is no big deal. I hope to god Kalista that you never have to go through something like that because it is torture.

My father in-law died of skin cancer, after a long, gruesome battle, not to mention losing half of his face. It’s not always so treatable.

You do know that skin cancer is the most benign and treatable cancer there is right? And she was fortunate enough to have the funds to get that taken care of and get a facial on top of it. Doesn’t sound like a hardship worthy of respect to me 🤷‍♀️
As Wendy said, she made her blog public, so that means that there are people who are going to criticize her. It’s a fact of life.
