Man shares red flag symptom that saw him diagnosed with terminal skin cancer

A man who discovered a 'red flag' skin cancer symptom has shared his experience in the hope that others will spot the killer signs early. Dom Edwards, Senior Director for Produce Commercial, decided to share his story this week after days of sunshine - which can trigger deadly skin cancers.

Dom, who's married to Lizzie and has a daughter Lily, 15, and son Alfie, 13, is determined to use his experience to help other people avoid what he's had to go through. He has been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer.

Dom's employer Asda has praised him for speaking up, saying: "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.
