Australian politician Jim Chalmers undergoes treatment for melanoma while continuing his political duties.
It was early November 2020, and Jim Chalmers was getting a routine prescription from his family doctor when he asked the medico to examine a mole on his chest. A few days later, the GP phoned to say pathology had confirmed it was a melanoma; Chalmers would have to see a specialist.
A second, more invasive procedure took place later that month. But Chalmers, the then shadow treasurer, didn’t let up. It was the beginning of a “horrible” three or four months, where the wound kept breaking down.
