Helen Bailey, 28, was picking up a new self care routine in 2022 when she felt a small lump at the top of her neck, tucked right under her chin. It grew quickly, moving from the size of a gumball to a plum. Little did the Alabama-based realtor know, the lump was a warning sign of the 20 tumors that had invaded her body, spawning from a mole on her back. She was diagnosed with stage four metastatic skin melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, shortly thereafter. She had had a cancerous mole removed seven years before, but found out it had metastasized and returned.
