Darcy's diagnosis came when she was just 21 years old Curiously
She'd never paid much attention to it, until one trip home from university her mum commented on it. Darcy, from Salford, revealed in a TikTok video that her mum commented on her mole and prompted her to visit her GP, reports the MEN.
The nurse told Darcy she wasn’t too concerned about it but as it did meet several ABCDEs, she would refer her to a specialist. In February 2020, the then 21-year-old was given the terrifying news that she had skin cancer. “They were just as shocked as I was because, you know, I told them that I'd never had any bad sunburns. I've never been in a tanning bed, I do have the typical skin type that does have a lot of moles and has to be a bit more aware of their moles. Other than that, I don’t feel like I'd put myself at any kind of further risk of getting skin cancer."
They include lumps, bumps or swellings, unexplained tiredness, mole changes, persistent pain, and significant weight change. Over the last few years, Darcy has delivered cancer awareness workshops at schools to raise awareness and educate them on what they should be looking out for.
