I've just found out this new. :-[
As I know that we've got several fans of Hugh Jackman (Stone in particular), I'm sharing this:

Hugh Jackman said his wife had urged him to get his nose checked.
Australian actor Hugh Jackman says he has been treated for skin cancer after seeking advice for a mark on his nose.
The star of Wolverine posted an image of his face with a bandage on his nose on his Instagram account and wrote: "Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked."
He said he had been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
BCC usually develops on skin exposed to the sun, and accounts for about 75% of skin cancers.
Hugh Jackman, who was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year for his performance as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, said his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, had told him to seek medical advice.
"Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!"
He did not say when he was diagnosed or what treatment he received, but said that anyone with concerns should seek medical advice.
"Please don't be foolish like me," he wrote. "Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!"
BCC produces cancerous cells on the surface of the skin. Surgery is the main treatment. If left untreated, it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, but it can damage or disfigure surrounding tissue.

I wish him well and a speedy recovery.
If you have any unusual marks or itchy moles, its always best to get them checked out.
Thanks for posting Marilyn, if his cancer can urge others to get checked out, its turns a negative into a positive.
