At the age of 26, skin cancer was the last thing on Leah Adams’ mind—until a routine skin check changed everything. Diagnosed with stage IA melanoma, Leah had to confront the fears, surgeries, and uncertainties that followed. In this episode, she shares how her experience transformed her perspective on skin health and inspired her to become a melanoma advocate. Leah’s story is a powerful reminder of the life-saving impact of early detection and self-advocacy. She also offers practical advice on raising awareness about skin cancer and sun safety and reflects on her medical care to help future physicians better support patients through these vulnerable moments. We hope you enjoy!
