My own surgery for skin cancer
By Dr Chris SteeleI have developed skin cancer - twice! The first time I had a tumour on my cheek - about 10 years ago. I decided to show the operation to remove the growth on ITV's This Morning.
Images from the surgery

This first image shows me just before the surgery with the cancer clearly visible on my cheek. |

Finally you can see the stiches after the surgery - now I don't even have a scar! |
