Inspirational Stories
Caitlin grew up in sunny Sacramento, but had not had a skin exam until a friend was diagnosed with melanoma at a young age and encouraged all of her friends to get skin exams. Being fair-skinned and a big fan of the outdoors, Caitlin made an appointment right away. Her first skin exam at Laser & Skin resulted in seven biopsies. Thankfully, all were benign, but marked her as high-risk and therefore, in need of skin exams every six months.
In 2016, a biopsy on her back came back as Melanoma in-situ, or stage 0. She caught it early. Caitlin had MOHs surgery and was cleared. The mother of four is now a big advocate for skin exams and encourages her friends to know what to look for in detecting changing moles. High-risk doesn’t mean you have to avoid the sun, but, as Caitlin did, you should practice safe sun habits and get checked regularly.
