Vinnie Jones Cancer
November 25, 2013 by staff
Vinnie Jones Cancer, Actor and footballer Vinnie Jones says he has had several lumps removed after being diagnosed with skin cancer.
The 48-year-old noticed a small blemish below his eye in February, thinking it was “a blackhead or a wart”.
A check-up revealed it was melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, which kills 1,300 men and 900 women every year.
Doctors have since found more tumours, but Jones told The Sun he would fight it with “everything I’ve got”.
“When the doctor said I had skin cancer, the first thing I thought was ‘how long have I got?'” he told the newspaper.
“It’s weighing very heavily on me all the time,” he said.
Malignant Melanoma death rates have been increasing in the UK since the early 1970s, but the disease is largely preventable by avoiding strong sunlight and using high-factor sun creams.
