About this listen

Join us as we talk to Courtney Mangan.


Courts was 29 when she was first diagnosed with melanoma, after doctors discovered the mole on her right shoulder was cancerous. Since then, she has undergone multiple surgeries to remove melanomas from her arm, back, bowel, and thigh, along with 65 cancer treatment sessions.


Through her journey, Courts has made it her mission to raise awareness about skin safety. She openly shares her experience of living with cancer online, educating her community on the importance of protecting their skin.


She emphasizes a crucial message: melanoma is one of the most preventable cancers, and taking steps to protect our skin can save lives.


Beyond the physical challenges, Courtney also speaks about the emotional toll of her diagnosis, especially as she watches friends around her getting married and starting families while she navigates her reality of life with cancer.
