Christie Brinkley is warning her followers to be “diligent with your sun protection” after she was diagnosed with skin cancer. The model, 70, announced her diagnosis Wednesday on Instagram, accompanied by graphic images of a gaping wound on her temple, which she also photographed stitched up and bandaged. “The good news for me is we caught the basal cell Carcinoma early.
And doing regular total body check ups..that is a MUST !” Brinkley wrote. Brinkley said she was “lucky” a doctor found the basal cell carcinoma while she accompanied one of her children to their appointment. “At the VERY end I asked if he could just look at a little tiny dot I could feel as I applied my foundation. He took a look and knew immediately it needed a biopsy! He did it then and there!” she said.
