How Stripping Down To Your Underwear Could Save Your Life

/

If you’re anything like me, the thought of stripping down to your underwear in front of complete strangers is utterly terrifying. However, the thought of going under the knife to have a skin cancer removed proved to be scarier still, so I put on my big girl pants and booked myself in to Skin – A Universal Approach for my first ever Skin Cancer check.

Going into the clinic, I had no idea of what to expect. How long does a skin cancer check take? What exactly would they be looking for? Will I need to have suspicious spots chopped out of me right then and there?

Thankfully, the experienced staff were more than happy to answer any of my questions and they very quickly put my mind at ease (The process takes about 30 minutes, they were looking for any unusual spots, and no, I most likely would not need to have anything chopped out of me right then and there).

The appointment starts with a thorough check of your hair and face. Even with my incredibly long, unruly hair, the team took no chances and went through it to be sure there were no hidden lesions on my scalp.

Once that’s done, it’s time to disrobe for the most awkward (and possibly most useful) part of the experience: total body mapping. This is where you strip down to your undies and the nurse takes around ten images of various parts of your body with a machine known as the MoleMax.

The importance of these particular photos really shines when you have your next check-up, as they allow for quick identification of any changes or additions to your skin that you may miss.

After the photography is complete, the team moves on to the in-depth all-over skin check. Using a hand held device called a dermatoscope, the team look over every part of your body and investigate any moles they see. If there are any moles that look suspicious, they will take a photograph for closer inspection.

While this is happening, you’ll be asked a few questions about skin cancer risk factors and relevant medical history. It was during this time that I learned I have a higher chance of developing a melanoma in my lifetime, as there is a history of skin cancer in my family.

Statistically speaking, melanoma is the fourth most diagnosed cancer in Australia. The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with a melanoma is 99%, but only if the cancer is detected early. If left unchecked, the five-year survival rate drops dramatically to only 15% (source).

It is recommended that you have a skin cancer screening once per year, or more frequently if you are at high risk.

Thankfully, my story has a happy ending and I have the all-clear for the moment. A few minutes of awkwardness in my undergarments is most definitely worth the peace of mind knowing that I am skin cancer free.

Triple J just announced that "One Night Stand" will be in Geraldton this year!

/

In a huge announcement from triple j, Geraldton will host some of Australia’s biggest music acts as part of triple j’s music festival ‘One Night Stand’.

In an announcement today, the radio station confirmed that Geraldton was the chosen location for the event on 9 April which will include artists Boy & Bear, Alison Wonderland and Urthboy along with special guests.

Every year triple j chooses one place in Australia to host One Night Stand and Mayor Shane Van Styn said this was a huge opportunity for Geraldton and the region. 

“It’s absolutely amazing to have the calibre of artists come to the Mid West and play in Geraldton,” he said. 

“The event will bring people from all across the state so it’s a great win for our local economy and community.” 

The all ages, drug and alcohol free event has proved extremely popular in the past visiting places including Dubbo, Mildura, Collie and Alice Springs. 

Psyched to be heading to WA, triple j Content Director Ollie Wards said everyone at triple j is really excited to be road tripping to Geraldton with some awesome musical mates.

“We’re lucky to cover so much of this massive country and visiting cool regional towns like Geraldton is one of the best things we get to do,” he said.

“We can’t wait to throw the biggest free concert the town has ever seen and maybe try the famous lobster while we’re there!”

Mayor Van Styn said the City is continuing to put an emphasis on bringing top-class entertainment to Geraldton.

“We have seen the success of big events such as Cold Chisel last year and we want to continue to bring big names here,” he said. 

“Often regional places are left off the map when it comes to big acts but we want to change that.

“It is with the support of the community that we are able to bring such amazing events here and we hope the community will support this one with gusto.

“A big shout out also goes to local resident Brad Gundlach for nominating Geraldton to be in the running to host this event. 

Entry for the event will be a gold coin donation with money going towards a local youth charity which will be announced at a later date.

One Night Stand in Geraldton will be held at the WA Country Builders Stadium (Wonthella Oval) on Saturday 9 April with gates opening from 3pm. 

There will be regular updates and more information on the City’s website and Facebook page.
