Julian Lennon, son of the legendary musician John Lennon, is experiencing a recurrence of skin cancer. As he reported on platform X, before his trip to New York, he visited his dermatologist, Dr. Tess, who had previously saved his life. After examinations, it turned out he had two skin lesions, one of which was melanoma.

(...) I received a message from Dr Tess, with some urgency to return to Los Angeles, as I had 2 locations on My Skin, Shoulder & Forearm, one of which was Melanoma, that should be operated on ASAP! So instead of going home to put my Christmas tree up and happily finish the year off, relaxing at home, I flew directly back to Los Angeles, after all my work in New York was done, and went directly from LAX airport, to surgery, with a surgeon recommended by Dr Tess, @timneavin- who spent several hours cleaning up and operating on me, with large margins, in the hope that we have, at the end of the day - clear margins, which would mean being free from cancer… - he wrote on X.

The surgeon, recommended by his dermatologist, spent several hours removing the lesions, hoping to eliminate the cancer. Lennon emphasized the importance of regular check-ups, which can save a life.

It only takes a short while to do so, and you may just be saving your own life, at the end of the day… so please, for the sake of yourself, your family and friends just go to your Dr and do what must be done… I love life and I want to live for a very long time and this is one way, and a choice, that could determine your future… - the son of the legendary musician emphasised.

Julian Lennon first heard the diagnosis of skin cancer in 2020. At that time, thanks also to Dr. Tess's vigilance, they were able to react quickly and remove the malignant lump. Lennon urges everyone not to neglect check-ups, emphasizing that it is the only way to protect health and life.
