Melanoma isn’t just a disease of older adults—and this episode will change how you think about skin cancer.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Julie Kenner is joined by Marianne Banister, who shares the story of her daughter Claire, diagnosed with stage 3A melanoma at just 14 years old. What began as a seemingly harmless mole quickly became a life-altering diagnosis—despite regular screenings and sunscreen use.
This episode is a reminder that skin health is deeply connected to what’s happening inside the body—and that awareness can save lives.
💡 Key takeaway: When caught early, melanoma is highly treatable. But delays in recognition can have devastating consequences.
