In a recent TikTok video, Joey Graceffa shared some news with his followers that he never expected to have to share. He revealed that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer, a shocking and scary diagnosis for anyone to receive. With a heavy heart, he opened up to his 472,000 followers about his journey with this disease.
In the four-minute video, the 33-year-old influencer showed a red mark on his nose that he had been struggling with for the past 18 months to two years. After showing it to several dermatologists who dismissed it as a broken blood vessel, Joey decided to have it checked once more when it scabbed over. This time, he was sent for a biopsy and ended up passing out during the procedure due to his queasiness around blood and gore.
After receiving the news that it was indeed skin cancer, Joey shared that the doctor recommended Moh's surgery, a type of surgical treatment for skin cancer. Although he was initially nervous and passed out while the doctor explained the procedure to him, he knows that it is the best option for treating his cancer. But in addition to this, he also mentioned exploring natural treatments such as castor oil and aloe vera, as well as considering radiation treatment.
Despite the gravity of his situation, Joey remained level-headed and positive, acknowledging that this type of skin cancer is treatable. He plans to document his journey and share it with his followers, hoping to offer support to anyone else going through a similar experience. He also took the time to educate his fans about the two types of skin cancer, melanoma and non-melanoma, and how they differ in terms of causes and treatments.
Fans and fellow creators flooded the comments section with messages of support, sharing their own cancer stories and offering advice. It's clear that Joey has a strong and loving community behind him as he goes through this difficult time. With his positive attitude and determination, we have no doubt that he will overcome this challenge.
