Cricketer Michael Clarke returns to hospital for skin cancer treatment just one year after his last surgery: ‘Go get checked please’
Michael Clarke appears to be back in hospital undergoing another skin cancer surgery.
The former cricketer posted to Instagram Stories on Friday showing himself in a hospital bed wearing a cap and gown.
‘Skin cancer Friday,’ the 42-year-old wrote in his caption, adding, ‘Go get checked please’.
Michael last underwent surgery in March last year to have a skin cancer removed from his forehead.
That surgery came two years after he previously underwent the very same procedure.

Alongside a photo of his face with a plaster above his eyebrow at the time, he wrote: ‘Another check up, another cancer cut out.’
‘Go get yourself checked!’ he added.
Michael previously had a skin cancer cut out of his forehead in September 2019.
In a post on Instagram at the time, Michael shared a black and white photo of himself showing off the stitches between his eyebrows.
‘Another day, another skin cancer cut out of my face…’ he captioned the post, before adding a warning for others.

‘Youngsters out there make sure you are doing all the right things to protect yourself from the sun.’
Before having the skin cancer removed, Michael had been diagnosed with three non-melanoma lesions.
The father-of-one was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006 and has battled it several times since then.
He told Seven’s The Morning Show in 2018 that he goes for a routine check-up every six to 12 months.
In 2014, Michael appeared in an ad campaign for the Cancer Council, where he advised fans to ‘keep a close eye’ on their skin.
He said: ‘Aussie blokes and women need to keep a close eye on your skin, particularly look in those hard to see places, and familiarise yourself with your body.’
