The month of May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. So this is our PSA to you, our listeners,

whether you serve or not. Skin cancer is deadly, but death from skin cancer is preventable.

The key is simple. Know your spots. You don't even need to be an expert. In fact, I know that you

know your spots better than anyone else.

So if you know what moles and spots are on your body, you can easily identify if they are

problematic.

And the way to do it is with a very simple and easy to remember ABCs of skin screening.

A is for asymmetry. If the molar spot has an irregular shape,

go see a dermatologist. B is for border. Uneven borders like high on one side and low on the

other, go see a doctor. C is for color. If you have a range of different color spots on your

body, go see a doctor. D is diameter. If the spot is larger

than 6 millimeters, go see a doctor. And E is for evolution. If any of the spots on your body are

changing in any way, size, shape, color, elevation, this is very suspect. Go see a doctor. And when

you see the doctor, they'll ask you, is this a new

spot? How has it changed? So knowing your spots is incredibly valuable information. So it's simple.

Just do a quick screening daily. Keep tabs on what's happening. Early detection is key to long

life. I've had cancerous spots cut out and burned off,

and they have left zero cancer behind because they were detected early. So if you need a
