Ocular melanoma left Michelle with one eye- but helped her find her passion⎜Conquering Skin Cancer

Описание: Michelle Taylor, Deputy Chair of Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials (MASC) recalls the intense grieving she faced for something she thought she’d have forever - her eye.

Diagnosed with ocular melanoma, Michelle became one of only around 80 Australians facing this rare and devastating cancer each year; a stark contrast to the 16,000 battling skin melanoma.

With a 50% chance of metastasis looming over her, she likens the experience to living under the shadow of a guillotine, waiting for its inevitable drop.

Watch the full video to hear how Michelle’s diagnosis not only altered the course of her life, but also ignited a deeper passion she never saw coming.

From the feature film, "Conquering Skin Cancer". Only in cinemas 20th November 2024. 💛
