“I never felt 100 percent comfortable with that assessment, but I told myself if a doctor had looked at it, it was probably fine.”
That’s what Andrea Cummings said about the red spot on her chest when a doctor told her it was most likely a “sunspot” or discolored skin. After getting a second opinion, she was told she had superficial basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that if left untreated, can spread to the bone and tissue beneath the skin.
Read her story and see why getting a second opinion truly matters.
