That “small dark spot” on the foot? 👣🖤
Sometimes that’s how melanoma begins.

No pain.
No warning.
Just silence… until it spreads 😔

And in Black skin, melanoma often hides on the feet, palms, and under the nails.

Please don’t ignore changing dark spots.
Early checks save lives 🙏🏾❤️

Just a small sample. A few minutes ⏱️

Why this matters

POV: how an oncologist is made 💧
Some things you train for…
Some things you carry.

Small pours were lies 😅
The heavy pours? That’s the job.

You learn fast:
Hope and reality don’t always agree.
But you show up anyway. Every single time.

If this hit you, share it with someone who thinks this job is “just medicine” 🤍
