Wife of popular YouTuber couple, "The Breakthrough Couple," discovered skin cancer early and treated it early!

In a video released on July 6, Miyabi, the wife of the popular YouTuber couple, "The Hattens," who have over 300,000 channel subscribers, announced that she has been found to have "malignant melanoma," a type of skin cancer.

Miyabi cannot hide her surprise at the unexpected diagnosis.

At the beginning of the video, Miyabi says, "I have a malignant melanoma. They call it malignant melanoma. So to put it simply, I have been found to have skin cancer," she began.

An acquaintance who saw the mole on the sole of her foot pointed out to her that it was cancer, and a visit to a dermatologist revealed the malignant melanoma. He stated that the mole had appeared since he was in junior high school, and although it had gradually grown in size, he had never expected it to be malignant.
I think this is one of those self-checks that you can all do right away. (If you see something that looks like a mole, you should check to see if it is getting bigger and bigger.)

Early detection and early treatment has a 100% 5-year survival rate.

After having a mole removed and examined by a dermatologist, I was told that I may have malignant melanoma. The doctor gave me a letter of referral to go to a larger hospital immediately and undergo surgery.

The surgery took about two hours and involved removing all of the skin from a mole on the sole of my foot, leaving 1 cm open, and transplanting a 2 cm diameter skin graft.
Frankly, if I were in this position, I would be in a hurry to realize that something was not good.

The most important thing is to go in for an exam."

Miyabi, who was discharged from the hospital after two weeks of hospitalization, commented at the end of the video, "I also realized the importance of going for an examination, without thinking that this much is okay.

She also said, "The most important thing is to go for an examination, and I also recommend going to a dermatologist if you think, 'Oh?　I recommend that you go to a dermatologist if you have any doubts. In particular, I heard that moles on the soles of the feet, even if they are fine now, can easily become cancerous later, so please be especially careful with your feet.

Fortunately, Miyabi's malignant melanoma was stage 1A, and her five-year survival rate is 100%. She expressed her desire to share this experience, which reaffirmed the importance of early detection and treatment, with as many people as possible.

The key will not be the awareness that because one is young, there is no problem, but whether or not one can pay attention to one's own body and be aware of the slightest discomfort, even at a young age.
I believe that this announcement has helped to alert the younger generation to cancer.

I believe that this kind of communication was a good opportunity to make the younger generation aware of the disease of cancer.
As for Ms. Miyabi, I admire her courage in sharing her story of her illness in public.
