‘The Bachelorette’ Ali Fedotowsky-Manno Shares She Has Skin Cancer
Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky-Manno has announced to fans that she has been diagnosed with skin cancer. While there is no good cancer, luckily Ali has been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of skin cancer.
Ali shared her news on Instagram
Ali went to Instagram to share the news of her diagnosis with fans. She has always been straightforward with her followers through the good and the bad times of her life. The first thing Ali said was, “GET YOUR SKIN CHECKED.”
Ali went on to say she received the diagnosis a few weeks ago. She shared she nearly fainted in the doctor’s office when he mentioned the word cancer. Ali said, “Thankfully, the type of skin cancer I have is rarely fatal and really never fatal when you catch it early. It’s called Basal cell carcinoma.”
She went on to share photos of the mole on the left side of her body before it was biopsied. She hopes this will give fans something to look at and compare to moles of their own. Ali also pointed out the scar above her bellybutton that she says is from skin cells removed six months ago that could of possibly be cancerous. She has vowed to never expose her stomach to the sun without proper sunscreen again.

Her advice for fans, family and friends
Ali went on in her post to say basal cell carcinoma is very common. She even said most people probably know someone who has or has had this form of cancer. Catching the disease early is a must and Ali recommends going to the dermatologist at least once a year to have your skin checked out. Ali shared she is now going every 3 to 6 months.
She shared the first thing she did after being given her diagnosis was text her family and tell them all to go get checked. She continued, “So I’m doing the same for all of you, my extended family, right here and right now.”
Ali says she is very lucky it was not melanoma. She says she’s very lucky they caught the cancer early. Ali said, “Moving forward I plan on making it a priority of mine to use the best natural products on my skin and be rigorous about applying sunscreen and reminding all of you to do the same! I love you guys! Take care of yourselves!”
She followed up her original post stating she has a minor surgery on January 30 to get the cancer removed. She promised to keep everyone updated on her progress.
