Television presenter and radio DJ Chris Evans recently gave his followers an update on his skin cancer diagnosis after opening up about the same last month. He appeared on the Virgin Radio show at the time, revealing that his cancer treatment would begin on September 14, 2023.
Evans has now shared a picture of his scar through Instagram, writing in the caption:
"And that's a W.R.A.P. Early cuzza to celebrate + 0.0 VERY cold beer. #getyourselfchecked/checkafriend Peace&Love people. HAPPY THURSDAY."
The comments section was flooded with best wishes from Evans' friends and followers on the platform.
Radio presenter Chris Evans revealed about his skin cancer diagnosis in August this year
Chris Evans revealed his diagnosis of skin cancer on air as he appeared live on Virgin Radio show on August 21, 2023. At the time, he added that the cancer can be cured because it has been diagnosed in its early stage:
"We need to discuss what's going on with this issue. It is a melanoma. There's this phrase called a malignant melanoma – you know once you get something and you find out all about it – that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma, it is malignant."
The Sun disclosed at the time that his treatment would start on September 14, 2023. He jokingly said at the time that he might not be able to run for some time so he would be running until his treatment begins.
Mayo Clinic states that melanoma is one of the serious forms of cancer. It usually happens in the eyes. The cause for melanoma remains unknown but exposure to UV rays is said to be one of the reasons.
Melanoma is easier to treat if detected early on.
Back in 2015, Chris Evans revealed to his listeners that he was undergoing tests for prostate cancer. He told his listeners at the time:
"It's a fine line between life and death, happiness and tragedy. And I've got to say I'm in the middle of a prostate issue right now. I couldn't stop. I have not been able to top since Christmas – peeing – or wanting to go – so I've gone to the doctor."
He was later declared cancer-free. A few years later, in 2020, he tested for skin cancer after finding marks on his body. Evans' family already has a long history of cancer. Chris' father and two uncles passed away after being diagnosed with colon cancer and his mother was also diagnosed with breast cancer.
