A mum says she was left looking like a "character from a zombie movie" after having skin cancer removed under her eye.
Sarah Trushell, 38, was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma - the most common form of skin cancer - on June 28, 2023.
Her dermatologist warned she likely developed it after growing up in sunny Bermuda and Cyprus - while not wearing strong enough suncream.
She had surgery under her right eye to remove the cancer - leaving her with a 3in scar along her cheek.
The surgeon managed to remove the cancer cells "in one go" - leaving her cancer-free without needing further treatment.
Doctors haven’t said how long the scar will take to heal and Sarah is having to learn to embrace her new face in the meantime.
