The start of a new year is a time to reflect on the year just gone and look forward to the journey ahead. No matter what you may have been through the previous year, I believe each new year is an opportunity to grow, invite in new opportunities and change our lives for the better. 

One of the main important things I would like to say is – make health a priority. We all get busy, and a lot of the time put everyone else before us and sometimes we may even ignore signs of illness and just try and get through the pain as if it doesn’t exist. One of the health checks I am glad I didn’t ignore last year was my skin cancer checks. I had a melanoma removed a few years ago and last year, I had a sun cancer removed on my forehead. A short while later, the doctor found I had up to eight more on my face, under the skin, waiting to come up to the surface. I had to take immediate action, so I had Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) done. As painful and uncomfortable as it was, I am so happy I had it done, so please book your skin check in sooner rather than later.
