Ellison Barber Cancer

Ellison confessed that she never realized how important it was to protect the skin until she got a call from her doctor with the bad news that she had a cancerous spot on her back.

She admits that the news made her panic, although skin cancer is treatable.

She imagined what could have happened if she had ignored it, or if her doctor hadn’t caught it in good time.

The large scar that was left behind always reminds her to take care of her skin and protect it. Ellison tweeted a picture saying that only 1% of skin cancer is as a result of Melanoma.
