After the surgery, she told the Herald Sun: ‘I was yellow and bruised and my lips were swollen and half my mouth wasn’t working, but I felt so lucky that I not only still had my lips and nose, but that they were still in the same place.’
Deborah told Mamma Mia, back in 2016: ‘I had my first instance with skin cancer 15 to 20 years ago on my chest.
‘You just know when something doesn’t feel right when you have awareness of skin, the spots and marks. If somethings not right, an alarm goes off,’ she added.
