An ASDA employee has been praised after opening up about the red flag symptoms that led him to discovering he had skin cancer. In light of the recent soaring temperatures, Dom Edwards shared his story to help raise awareness for the disease.
Taking to Facebook earlier this week, the official ASDA page published a photo of colleague Dom in hospital alongside a lengthy caption. They started: "With the heatwave bringing blue skies and record temperatures across the country our colleague Dom is getting behind a campaign warning of the dangers of skin cancer and urging people to stay safe in the sun.
"Dom, who's Senior Director for Produce Commercial at Asda, noticed an itchy mole on his back in 2008, which was later confirmed as skin cancer. He's undergone a series of major operations and has regular treatment but, after the melanoma spread to his lymph nodes, spine and organs, had the devastating news that he has stage four terminal cancer. Dom, who lives in north Leeds, is determined to use his experience to help other people."
