Though Marco Antonio only moved to Whistler about eight months ago, he was lucky enough to find a family physician in Dr. Kristy King.
After one of his appointments, Dr. King called him in for a consult.
“At that appointment, she explained that [one of my moles] was melanoma and had to be removed ASAP.”
Two weeks later, Marco went under the knife.
“I can’t believe the timing of it all. I had the most aggressive skin cancer … It was detected and removed early on, and now I’m just left with a seven-centimetre scar in my back and the feeling that everything could have gone terribly wrong for me, my wife and my entire family,” he says.
“Today, after a snowstorm, I had the best run of my life at the Whistler Bowl, and will keep enjoying life to the fullest—because thanks to my doc I have a second chance at it!”
