She was 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: rushed in for surgery on a facial skin cancer that 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: she heard she'd found just in time. What a wake 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: up called deb? 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: Hello? Yes? Beaking your wake up called good morning? Yes? 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: When you were in here last you had a surgery, 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: this a few years ago now, and I remember you 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 3: had like the scar and the recent stitches and stuff, 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 3: and remember that and then years ago that was nine 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: years ago. 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: I can't beleive you go, well, what happened after that? 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: Deb What was your recent experience? 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: It was, sadly exactly the same. Look. I was sort 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: of fine. I get my skin checked all the time. 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: I'm there so twice a year and and my dermatologist 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: the spotted something which I couldn't see anything. She said, look, 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: they'd be better come back in about six months. I 22 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: just want to keep an eye on something. I don't know, 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: there's something here. And sure enough, six months later, I 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: went in and they went, yeah, we needed to do 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: a couple of biopsies, so made a couple. What do 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: you mean? I couldn't say things, So anyway, I went 27 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 2: in sure enough it was something that needed to needed 28 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: to come out. But there was two of them. But 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: the scary thing is just it wasn't sort of to 30 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: the naked eye, I couldn't really tell. There was a 31 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: little bump and it. 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Was on your face, just below your nose. 33 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: Exactly, and Amanda, it was literally sort of the slightly 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: bigger version of the same surgery nine years ago, in 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: exactly the same spot. So you know, the thing about 36 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: it is you just we don't know. We you know, 37 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: we can't see. It's not always obvious that there is 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: a skin cancer there this placebook you can't see. But 39 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: it just it's such a warning sign. But such a 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: guy sort of paranoid about my skin anyway, but it 41 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: was such a warning fine for others, say, you know, 42 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: if you haven't get your skin check, if you think 43 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: you're fine, then don't believe it. You know, I mean, 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: just go in, just go and go get your skin checked. 45 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: Well, because of you, all those years ago, I get 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: mine checked regularly and it's but it is as scary 47 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: as you get old, because and all the damage is done. 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 3: When you were young in the seventies when no one 49 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: had sunblock reading, you got your sunburn on sunburn. 50 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: Yeah that's it. Yeah, that's exactly right. And look, you 51 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: know when we were kids, and even even in the 52 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: twenties and in the thirties, I was still best sort 53 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: of doing it. So it's you know where it just 54 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: becomes a part of who we are. I mean, I've 55 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: just spent a couple of weeks doing this cream. Have 56 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: you had of afidex. It's a bit horrifying. Yeah, like 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: your cancer cream. You've got to put it on and 58 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: all this stuff comes up with your face, so it 59 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: targets all this cancerous and precancerous cells. And yeah, it's 60 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: not pretty, but what it does it shows you there's 61 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff under the skin that you don't 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: even know that it's sitting there because. 63 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: You've got you ended up with quite a big scar, 64 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: which I saw the photo you posted when it first happened, 65 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: and obviously this is all fading now, but it was 66 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: pretty dramatic as someone who uses their faces their livelihood, 67 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: how confronting. 68 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I did say to the surgeon, do 69 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: you think you should do one on the other side, 70 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: just to sort of make it look deliberate. It's another 71 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: way of having a facelip, right, just yeah. I mean 72 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: it was confronting, but you know, so is so is 73 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: the idea that you don't know how big the scar 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: is going to be. The most confronting is when you're 75 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: going in you're saying, you know, they just keep cutting 76 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: until they make sure they've got on the margin. So 77 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: there's no guarantee it's going to be a tiny thing. 78 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: So what happens with you? Now? What's the future thing? 79 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: Wear a bag over my head? Yeah, the two eyes 80 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: cut out. It's good cod. I'm very COVID safe. 81 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: I saw you working down a tucker Bag mascot. 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a new face. 83 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: Does tucker Bag even exists anymore? 84 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: But but you said, you don't know, let's bring them back. 85 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: Let's bring tucker Bag back.

It isn't look I've been it's been extraordinary. 89 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: I've been overwhelmed by the amount of people that have 90 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: contacted me and just reached out and shared their stories 91 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: to me and sending me photos of similess scars and 92 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: things that have picked up since I started posting, letting 93 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: everyone that was going on.
