She wrote, "For those who don't know I had a skin cancer scare on my face, my angel @garthmd is who I trusted with removing the tumour. Doctor Fischer is out of this world fabulous not only did he remove the tumor and make sure that I'm completely cancer-free but he did such a stellar job of making my scar as small and beautiful as possible."
