Doctors told Michelle not to worry - then lumps appeared everywhere on her body

With warm weather often a novelty in the UK, it can be easy to forget to slap on the sunscreen in the same way that we do when we're somewhere hot abroad. And that was true for Michelle Richardson.

She said she'd always apply it when abroad, but often neglected to do so when at home. Michelle didn't think too much of it, until five years ago when she found a mole underneath her bra strap.

The mole was removed and, with it, a thin layer of skin cancer. However, a year later small tumours came out all over her body within the space of a week. It even covered her lungs and brain as stage four incurable melanoma spread everywhere, reports the Mirror.
