Katherine Ryan Diagnosed with Melanoma for Second Time

The comedian credits self-advocacy for catching the early-stage skin cancer after initial dismissals by doctors.

Katherine Ryan revealed she has been diagnosed with melanoma for the second time, following a previous diagnosis in 2004.
The comedian sought further testing after a private doctor initially dismissed her concerns about a mole on her arm.
Ryan paid £1,000 at a private clinic to have the mole removed, later confirmed as early-stage melanoma.
She emphasized the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare and urged others to seek second opinions for health concerns.
Ryan clarified that her condition is not critical, as the melanoma was caught early and treated successfully.
