Honoure Stark, from Toronto, Canada, ignored an ‘unusual spot’ she found on her forehead in 2008 because she initially thought it was eczema. She later learned that the spot growing over time was actually a symptom of skin cancer. After she was diagnosed with skin cancer, lesions began to appear all over her body.
SCALPED THE SKIN
Honoure Stark, who has undergone more than 30 operations for the destruction of cancerous lesions, was finally given a cream to be used in chemotherapy. The body of the mother of four children also reacted to this. The chemotherapy cream, which is applied to the body in the form of a cream, must be kept in the body for 6 hours. The skin of the woman, who described the cancer-fighting cream as similar to ‘acid spilling’ on her skin, was covered with painful red crusts.
NEVER USED SUN CREAM
Expressing her feelings, the woman said, “There were people who distanced themselves from me. It used to hurt my feelings and I felt left out,” she said. Stark, who said she never used sunscreen before she was diagnosed with skin cancer, is now trying to raise awareness about the disease and how to avoid it.
Not working since her diagnosis in 2008, she’s now trying to raise awareness about skin cancer and how to stay safe in the sun by making TikTok videos, and by doing so, she has garnered more than 240,000 likes and followers.
“I want people to understand that with little actions they can incorporate into their routines, they can prevent this from happening. I see capless babies outside in the bright sun and I think to myself, ‘this scares me’ because of what their future might look like.” said.
