Deborah Hutton

Two years ago, Deborah had surgery to remove skin cancer from her face. Now aged 60, she says her brush with cancer is still far from over.

“This is ugly and this is something people should see,” she says of the image. “The fear shouldn’t be the scar that might be left, the fear should be not getting to it (cancer) in time,” she says. “It amazes me the impact it has had on them,” Deborah says. “It’s ironic because my face has been my career for decades, yet this would have been different if the cancer was on my shin,” Deborah says. “That area of the face is a freeway for skin cancer.” “Out of everything I’ve done or accomplished, this is the most meaningful thing I have ever done with my life,” she says.
