Five-time melanoma survivor wants to save you

Source: The Observer, October 2017

MARK Booth is only 55 and just had his fifth melanoma removed within the space of 10 years.
Now he wants to spread the message regarding regular skin checks.
Mark was diagnosed with his first melanoma 10 years ago and had a further three appear within the next three years.
The English-born and fair-skinned Gladstone Power Station worker had a six-and-a-half-year hiatus until he noticed a tiny mark on his left thigh.
“I had a break for nearly seven years where (Dr Stephen Rigby) was actually quite happy with me skin-check wise – I was on a three-month cycle and he let me out to six months,” Mark said.
