I Have CANCER 🙁 … (The Shocking News No One Wants to Get)

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from my dermatologist that a mole removed in October was melanoma. It was caught very early, but I wanted to share the full story to help others understand the signs, the risks, and why early detection matters so much. In this video, I explain how I found the mole, what made it suspicious, how the biopsy results were interpreted, and what questions you should ask if you ever get a melanoma diagnosis. I also talk about access to dermatology in Canada, how to advocate for yourself, and what to know about mole mapping, referrals, and wait times. My goal is not to scare anyone. It is to give you enough information to recognize warning signs, trust your gut, and make an appointment even if you think your risk is low. If this video encourages even one person to check their moles or book a visit, then sharing my story is worth it. Stay safe, stay sun protected, and please consider booking a baseline skin check with your doctor. #melanoma #skincancerawareness #earlydetection #healthawareness #dermatology #abbeyskitchen 📚 PRE-ORDER my new book, THE HUNGER CRUSHING COMBO METHOD for a FREE HCC Holiday Survival Guide ⤵️ Learn how to find your healthiest weight & meet your health goal without dieting with this bible for nutrition truths.
