In October 2012, her daughter, Sarina, asked, \u201cMom, <em>what\u2019s that<\/em> on your nose?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>That<\/em>\u201d looked like a harmless little pimple, but Sue booked an appointment with a dermatologist. &#8220;He did a biopsy and afterwards, I thought nothing more about it,&#8221; Sue said.<\/p>\n<h3>A Shocking Diagnosis<\/h3>\n<p>On New Year\u2019s Eve, Sue got a call from her doctor.\u00a0\u201cHe told me to sit down and grab a pen,\u201d she explained. \u201cHe said I had <a href=\"https:\/\/skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-information\/merkel-cell-carcinoma\/\">Merkel cell carcinoma,<\/a> an extremely rare, aggressive cancer. At the time, the prognosis was just five months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In one stunning instant, everything changed. Sue\u2019s life became a fight to survive, and each moment had a stark sense of urgency. In all, her battle involved seven surgeries and eight weeks of chemotherapy with concurrent radiation. Though the prognosis was grim, Sue beat the odds. In 2023, she celebrated 10 years with no evidence of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere aren\u2019t many people who get to say, \u2018My daughter saved my life.\u2019 I will forever be grateful to Sarina for asking me, \u2018<em>What\u2019s that<\/em>?\u2019 Had I ignored her, even for a few weeks, I wouldn\u2019t be here today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason the survival rate for Merkel cell carcinoma is so low is because most people don\u2019t catch it early enough,\u201d Sue explained. \u201cAs a survivor I&#8217;ve learned some powerful lessons, and I\u2019m sharing my story to help people grasp the seriousness of this disease. My personal mission is to do everything in my power to help more people prevent and detect skin cancer early, and ultimately, to end death from skin cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Big See<\/h3>\n<p>After treatment, Sue and her team from Digitas Health worked with The Skin Cancer Foundation to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/thebigsee.org\">The Big See<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, an awareness campaign that aims to inspire people to get to know their skin, look in the mirror and keep these three words in mind: <strong>NEW<\/strong>, <strong>CHANGING<\/strong> or <strong>UNUSUAL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s that simple. If you see something that makes you wonder \u201c<em>What\u2019s that<\/em>?\u201d \u2013 go get checked.
