Red flag symptoms that led ASDA employee to discover he has terminal cancer

An ASDA employee has been heaped with praise for sharing the red flag symptoms that led him to discover he had skin cancer. As temperatures soared this week, ASDA colleague Dom shared his story in the hopes nobody else would fall victim to the ruthless disease.

ASDA wrote: "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."
