Rachel Maddow undergoes surgery for skin cancer: 'You should get checked'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rachel Maddow is sending an important message to her viewers about taking care of their skin health.

The MSNBC primetime host took time on her Wednesday show to "address a quick personal matter" revealing she had been gone for a few days because she had surgery to remove skin cancer on her neck. Maddow said she returned to the show still bandaged because she knew she needed to "pay this back."

"I want to use this moment to tell you something, which is: you should get checked," the 48-year-old political commentator said. "If you've got moles like I do, just get on a schedule with your doctor."

Maddow said her partner , photographer Susan Mikula, noticed the cancerous mole while they were attending a minor league baseball game.

2. I can recommend rapid attention to any suspected skin cancer. Some years

back I developed a cancer on the left side of my face. I put off getting it checked and
wound up having serious and expensive surgery. But they got it all and there hasn't
been any remission. We need to be good to ourselves!

3. I heard on the news once that single people are at greater risk

as they don't have anyone checking for them. I mean even Rachel had her SO notice rather than herself

4. I recommend pushing for Univeral Care, then.

Otherwise, you're really just saying to get checked if you can afford it.

5. My boss, a nurse, saved my life

she noticed a spot on the back of my calf. Yup, in situ melanoma. It was removed. I got laid off five months later and had to rush getting another job for insurance.
