Deborah Hutton gives rare update: “Don’t stuff around with your health”
Deborah Hutton has shared a rare update on her battle with skin cancer, one year on.
The 59-year-old underwent an incredibly invasive surgery to remove facial Basal Cell Carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.
12 months on since the terrifying ordeal, the star has shared a side-by-side before-and-after shot to her Instagram page.
"I can't believe it's been 12 months since surgery. But LOOK 👀 😁#nomakeup over scar!" the television host wrote.
"Message is clear and simple...don't be afraid, don't put it off, don't delay...If you haven't had your skin checked with a professional in the last 12 months, it's time to get an appt. 🙏🏼
"If I'd jumped on it sooner than I did I might have avoided such an invasive surgery.
"Just goes to show 🙄"
Hutton revealed in 2020 that her skin cancer diagnosis had come.
She urged fans to get their skin checked before it was a little too late.
"I have ummed and aahed about posting this but after having the stitches out from another major surgery to remove 2 skin cancers, and being extreme grateful they've got it all, I feel it's only right to remind you to get your SKIN CHECKED! Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼," she captioned her post.
"Early detection is everything!! Don't delay. To look at the area around my nose prior to surgery, nothing was visible to the naked eye.
"Only my dermatologist flagged it months earlier...So don't stuff around with your health!"
Hutton also revealed that she had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer one time previously.
"My skin will heal and in the coming months you'll hardly see the scar,” she said.
“I've been here before 9 years ago. Skin heals beautifully but only if you give it the chance before it's too late.
"Extremely grateful to my surgeon and the nurses who looked after me 🙏🏼💙 huge thanks 🙏🏼 💙"
