Overview
- Parry told Channel 5 hosts on Friday that doctors have diagnosed him with skin cancer after a dermatologist examined growths on his face.
- He said the problems began when an old eyebrow wound reopened and a long-standing 'bubble' on his nose was checked and found to be cancerous.
- During the clinic visit doctors identified additional areas of concern, froze some lesions off immediately and took biopsies including from his shoulder.
- Parry is awaiting scheduled hospital treatment and was told the operation may involve removing his right eyebrow; he described recent pain but said he expects a quick recovery.
- His account noted that skin cancers can appear with age even in people who avoid strong sun, and his on-air disclosure is likely to prompt wider public attention to early checks and treatment.
