Reclining back into my deckchair, I smiled as the Ibiza sun splashed across my face.
I adored gorgeous, hot weather and holidays abroad with my friends.
As I adjusted the straps of my bikini, I caught my friend staring at the mole on the back of my leg.
'What is that?' she asked.
'Oh, don't worry!' I replied. "That's always been there?
I reached down and touched the mole.
It felt really weird - it was all bumpy.
I looked over at my friend and she looked back with a worried expression.
'I'm going to get that checked out when we get back, I said.
A few days after touching down in the UK, I went to my GP.
He immediately referred me to a dermatology clinic in Bristol.
'We need to cut the mole off, they told me.
'No,' I replied. 'I have to get to work!"
I had only popped in on my lunch break, I didn't have time to have a mole removed.
The doctors were stern 'We need to cut this off now, they said.
Two weeks later, sat with my sister Ubah in my living room, I received a phone call.
