Irish born golfer three-time major winner, Padraig Harrington, has announced in a recent interview that he has had skin cancer treatment.
Harrington, 42, has had a number of skin cancers removed from his face as a result of a profession which meant a life out in the sun.
Having been personally affected by skin cancer following the death of his father from the disease, Harrington is all to familiar with how dangerous ignoring skin cancer symptoms can be.
Harrington went on to say;
“My father had symptoms but didn’t do anything about it. It’s the nature of men in Ireland and certainly older men.”
“Dealing with cancer is not what it was 10 years ago. Instead of just one treatment they are now looking at combining different types…”
“It is easier to clear these things up at the start rather than waiting until there is a problem. You can get treated and go on to live a much longer life.”
