Reporting from SurvivorNet shared on social media that she had been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on her nose. Martin underwent surgery to remove the cancer but will require additional surgery to close the hole on her nose. As she shared the diagnosis with her fans, she reinforced the importance of sunscreen. Basal cell carcinomas tend to grow on areas of the skin that are most highly exposed to the sun, such as the face, head, and neck.
