Former City midfielder Micheal Brown opened about his cancer diagnosis which came at the start of the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020.
Micheal Brown, a former footballer, manager and now popular pundit has opened about his cancer diagnosis. During a routine medical checkup, he was told he had cancer. He said :-
“Lockdown was a tough time for everyone, but unfortunately I was faced with a tougher challenge,” he explained. “Following many years in football, the League Managers Association offer me a yearly medical.
“Thanks to this I discovered I had a malignant melanoma.”
Doctor’s found a problematic mole in the middle of Micheal’s back. He told the Manchester Evening News :-
“I knew I always had moles but I wasn’t aware of having one like that. “I’ve got bigger moles that look not great, it was the smaller one that you don’t see coming.
“I have been checked over the years and had ones that needed removing, and then I was told this one was an invasive melanoma which was obviously a big shock. The doctors sit you down and they say straight away that there’s an issue.
“You hope it’s not, you wait for the biopsy – and it’s that waiting time which is difficult. But for me, they caught it at the right time, early enough to treat, and I had the right people treating it.”
Brown was treated at Manchester’s leading cancer centre The Christie. He further said:-
“The medical treatment was very quick and efficient,” he contined.
“I had to get the mole cut out and then go back and have some more cut out. Then you realise you’ve got rid of it and all you have to do is maintenance checks every three months – on moles in other areas as well.”
Brown will take part in London Marathon to raise money for The Christie
Brown appreciates each and every medical staff for their efforts. He said:-
“There so many people who appreciate The Christie, not just myself. Everybody you speak to in the north west, they’ll say what a wonderful job that hospital does – the amount of people that they treated and who benefit from it.”
