In her post, Brinkley encouraged her followers to be diligent with using sun protection on a day-to-day basis.

Brinkley shared that she feels lucky to have caught it early after accompanying her daughter to a checkup, writing, “It wasn’t my appointment so I wasn’t going to say anything but at the VERY end I asked if he could just look at a little tiny dot I could feel as I applied my foundation.”
“He took a look and knew immediately it needed a biopsy! He did it then and there! So make your own good luck by making that check up appointment today. And slather up my friends,” she added before thanking her doctors.
