Sonya Chant has always prioritised her health and that of her family s, including regular skin checks. I had a little spot on top of my lip five years ago and the biopsy on that came back to be Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) skin cancer, which is different from melanoma, Sonya, 36 tells 9Honey.
Cancer Council Australia explains BCCs are the most common form of skin cancer but aren t usually life-threatening. It s melanoma that are the most sinister.
Sonya and her husband Luke, 38, and children Angus, seven, and Milla, five, live in the small rural NSW town of Dungog, and constant sun exposure means they need to stay on top of any skin changes.
