Melanoma. Dismissal. Isolation. Job loss. In this episode, I share my experience, navigating a melanoma diagnosis during the Covid pandemic, after years of being dismissed by medical professionals. From the challenges of getting care on Medicaid to the emotional and financial fallout, this is a story about showing up for yourself when the system fails.
We also break down the ABCDEs of Melanoma to help you know what to look for- and why trusting your instincts can save your life.
