'Holby City saved my life': Episode featuring skin cancer patient prompts mother to get her dodgy mole checked out - which turned out to be a deadly melanoma

Rachael Green, from Wolverhampton, first noticed the mole two years ago. But she only decided to visit her GP after watching a storyline involving skin cancer in her favourite TV programme. A biopsy revealed it was cancerous and the mother-of-one had it removed in hospital (right). 


The surgery left a huge hole in her leg (in picture left and left) but to her relief, the cancer had not spread. She now has to be careful to cover up in the sun and has warned against the dangers of using sunbeds.
