Brinkley then pivoted into using her experience to advocate for regular skin checks and protective measures. "The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection!" she wrote.

And doing regular total body check ups..
Brinkley then explained that her cancer was actually discovered at her daughter's doctor's visit. "I was lucky to find mine, because I was accompanying one of my daughters to HER check up," she explained. "The Doctor was looking at each freckle with a magnifying glass. It wasn’t my appointment so I wasn’t going to say anything but at the VERY end I asked if he could just look at a little tiny dot I could feel as I applied my foundation.
Alexa Ray commented on her mother's post, writing, "Love you Mom. Let’s get Arnica Cream & Supplements, it’ll help your skin heal faster.
