Come with me to my WLE procedure for a potential melanoma! Unfortunately I have a history of melanoma being diagnosed the first time in 2023 when I was 26. That spot was missed by 3 doctors in 3 different states. It wasn't until I found my current dermatologist where I was taken seriously and now see them regularly. Having two MC1R variants (the ginger gene) I'm more predisposed to melanoma than most and have a family history of melanoma from my mom and uncle. For this spot, it had previously been removed and diagnosed as atypical - however after that initial procedure it came back which is why I today needed a WLE for preventative measures and the likely case that it is an early stage melanoma. I wanted to document this time around because I was quite nervous and scared the first time when it was on my neck. I'm waiting on results but if you're in a similar situation I hope my story helps! And to my fellow strawberry blondes and red heads please take extra precautions with your skin!! And make sure you request extra pain medicine if they don't already offer it to you like they did for me at my dermatologists. Take care of your skin friends! #skincancer #melanomaawareness #melanoma #wle #melanomore #skincancerawareness #skincancersurvivor #melanomasurvivor #melanomawarrior #orlando #ginger #redhead #ginger

Hey, TikTok fam! 🌟 I know I’ve been a bit MIA, but I wanted to pop in with some exciting news. Guess what? I’m celebrating 2 years in remission and I just turned 31! 🎉 My latest PET scan and biopsies came back all clear, so I’m still cancer-free! Woohoo! This year has been a whirlwind! I traveled to DC twice with the @Melanoma Research Foundation and @American Cancer Soc. (ACS CAN) to advocate for melanoma and cancer awareness. I even met many of my social media (my melahomies) friends in person for the first time! Such a surreal experience, and I can’t wait to go back to DC in a couple of months to see and hug them all again! I helped provide free skin checks in my town with @The Skin Cancer Foundation ‘s #DestinationHealthySkin skin screening RV program! Plus, I became a @Lovekinship ambassador, which is a dream come true because they make my absolute favorite sunscreen and skincare products! 🌞💖 I also raised awareness for Lymphedema with #Juzo, as it’s something I now live with due to my melanoma diagnosis. I even got a melanoma ribbon tattoo on my middle finger because, well, f*** cancer! 😜 I vacationed in Ocean City, MD, my happy place, and got the cutest new bunny rabbit. 🐰 We upgraded our bathroom and got a tub with jets! Oh, and I MET @mgk !!! I got to watch him perform "Lonely Road" from the front row in the same parking lot where I get my cancer treatment in WV! 🤩 I lost a few loved ones and people close to me along the way, and watched my friends both succeed and battle their own reoccurrence with cancer. Like my beautiful friend Meagan - she lost her battle with stage 4 melanoma recently and it’s something that will forever be heavy in my heart. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year, but I survived and feel so blessed to be here. I am going back to DC in a couple months with @Melanoma Research Alliance where I’ll be meeting up with even more of the melanoma community. So much good to look foward too! If you want to keep up with all my adventures, follow me on Instagram @beingbrittanny. I’m hoping to post more on TikTok soon, so stay tuned! #melanomawarrior #cancerfighter #cancersurvivor #melanoma #skincancer #yearinreview #capcut #cancerfree #youngwithcancer #preventskincancer #skincancersurvivor #melanomacancer #cancercommunity
