Model and actress Christie Brinkley was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, while attending the checkup of one of her daughters, she said Wednesday. While the doctor checked her daughter, Brinkley decided to ask him to take a quick look at her.
Brinkley said her case was caught early. 'And I had great doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like an haute couture Dior,' she wrote. Brinkley urged her followers to be diligent with sun protection. She said she got serious about it late, but is now focused on applying SPF 30 and wearing long sleeves and hats with wide brims. Brinkley also called regular total body checks a must.
