I’m back at Chevron Advanced Medical and Skin Cancer Clinic for a regular check-up with Dr. Andrew Thant. While my previous skin checks were routine, this visit took an unexpected turn.
Despite being a busy mom, I’m so glad I prioritized this appointment. During the exam, Dr. Thant used a dermatoscope to find a suspicious spot on my right ear that he believes is a Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC).

The Discovery: Watch the moment a routine check becomes a cancer scare.
What is BCC? Dr. Thant explains the most common type of skin cancer and why early detection is key.
The Biopsy: I walk you through the same-day punch biopsy process and getting stitches.
The Lesson: Why you should never skip a skin check, even when life is busy.
I feel very safe in Dr. Thant's care and am grateful we took action immediately. If you’re due for a check, please book it today—it could save your life.
