Christie Brinkley is opening up about her skin cancer diagnosis two months after she revealed she was diagnosed with the disease.
The model said Tuesday on TODAY that she learned she had skin cancer when she accompanied her daughter to the dermatologist.
“I was in the room, and he had this little magnifying glass out, and he’s looking at a couple of things that she was worried about,” Brinkley said. “I thought, ‘There is that little spot right on the side of my head right here. ... Should I say anything? It’s not my appointment.’”
“Then right at the very end, as he was putting away his little thing, I said, ‘Before you put that away, do you think you could just look at this?’” Brinkley recalled asking the doctor. “He looked and he goes, ‘We’ve got to do a biopsy immediately. This is something.’ Then the biopsy came back (as) cancer.”
Brinkley underwent surgery to get the cancer removed from the side of her face.
