skin story

Sara’s experience

“Sara put on sunscreen before you go to the beach” yelled Sara’s mum,

“No mum don't worry I will be ok” shouted Sara

It was summer and Sara and her family was having fun at the beach. Sara played in the beach and had lots of fun but her mum kept on telling her to put on sunscreen but she didn't listen because she thought that putting sunscreen on wouldn't help her.

The afternoon when Sara came home she was feeling very well, skin was burning and it was very red. Sara went and told her mum about it and her mum looked at her and saw a mole on her cheek. Sara’s mum took her to the doctors and they examined her. The  doctors told sara and her mum that she had skin cancer. Sara and her mum was very shocked and upset, they looked like they were about to cry. Then Sarah’s mum cried and said to Sara “ I told you to put on sunscreen before you go out in the sun, but you did not listen and now this is your punishment”. Sara started crying and then she asked the doctor “ am I going to die?”.

“ No your not going to die don't worry we will make sure your ok, so now you have to go to starship for a while ok” the doctor said calmly trying to calm them down.

When Sara and her mum went to the hospital the pediatrician told her that she is going to be ok because she came in the right time.

Five months later the cancer was gone but the doctors said that it could come back again.

Sara always puted sunscreen every time she went out and even sometimes when she was at home. She even told her friends and family about her experience.
