Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia host Mike Jerrick discovered he had basal cell carcinoma—a common, slow-growing skin cancer—during a live segment with dermatologist Dr. Joanna Walker. While discussing skin checks, Walker examined a spot on Jerrick’s elbow and immediately identified it as cancerous, recommending surgical removal. Jerrick, surprised but calm, admitted he hadn’t expected the diagnosis but emphasized the importance of early detection. The cancer, unlikely to spread, will be excised and stitched. Jerrick urged viewers to get suspicious skin marks evaluated, noting basal cell carcinoma affects 3.6 million Americans annually. The segment, praised for raising awareness, aired days before his scheduled removal procedure.
