It is also personal for me, as we have shared in previous ones. Fortunately, my Māori blood has given me some protection from the fierce Aotearoa sun, but that Irish blood is really, really strong, and so as an adult I've always used the highest-quality skin care and products that I could afford. So it was quite a shock when in my 40s, the little lump—a little tiny thing that was in my eye—suddenly grew really, really fast and turned out to be skin cancer. Now, I wasn't well off, and when I went to the doctors, they said there was a minimum of six months, a six-month waiting list, but I would always probably be low priority. So I was able to, thankfully, loan the $2,000 it cost to spend 15 minutes in a private clinic to get it removed, and I'm thankful that it never came back.
