The Advocate has launched a new book that chronicles the story of the late, great advocacy advocate, Louise Mok.
Louise Moulton was a pioneer in the field of dermatology, and her life story was a testament to the importance of supporting and caring for patients with skin cancer.
The book, titled What to do if you’re diagnosed with melanoma, details the lives of Louise’s three sons, as well as her husband, the late Anthony.
Louise died on February 10, 2019, at the age of 89, after battling the disease for two decades.
The three sons also have to endure the loss of their father’s work ethic and his caring nature.
“The book is a reminder to all who have cancer and are going through a time of loss that there are people out there who can help,” Louise’s daughter, Stephanie Mok, told the ABC.
“He’s an inspiration to so many.
It’s hard for cancer patients to think that others have had the same experiences.”
Louise was a leading voice in the community of people with skin cancers.
In addition to being an advocate for skin cancer patients, Louise also worked tirelessly on behalf of patients.
Her son, Anthony, was a consultant in the dermatology and skin cancer departments at St George’s Hospital in Sydney.
Louise’s husband, Anthony Mok died in 2008, at a time when he was leading an aggressive cancer treatment plan.
Louise was diagnosed with the disease in 1978, and was the first to publicly disclose the diagnosis in 1985.
In her book, What to Do if you are diagnosed with a melanoma skin cancer, Louise describes her battle with cancer and how she struggled to come to terms with the fact that her family was in a very difficult place.
Louise describes the journey that led her from a small town to the global spotlight in the late 1980s.
Louise began her journey when she and her husband were in the midst of a very tough time, having lost their father.
“My dad was really sick.
He had cancer.
We lost a great guy,” Louise says.
“There were so many people at work and at home that I really did not understand how he had passed away.
I was a very young child.”
Louise’s book recounts how her husband was diagnosed early on, and she was determined to fight the disease until he was discharged.
She was determined not to allow the disease to take over her life, and began her research.
“It was the same way I fought cancer,” Louise said.
You’ve got to be able to say, ‘This is it. “
When you’re in the fight, you have to fight.
You’ve got to be able to say, ‘This is it.
This is it, this is what we’ve got.’
I felt very alone.
It was hard.
But I was fighting.
I fought.
I went into my 80s and 90s, I lived very independently.”
Louise and Anthony met in the early 90s at a conference on melanoma and dermatology at St Georges Hospital.
Louise says that she had to work very hard to get access to information about the disease.
“We couldn’t have been more different people.
Anthony was always the one that would be telling us.
I wasn’t the one to do it,” she said.
Louise shared her story with a wide audience at the conference, and then in a book she wrote herself.
The two began a journey that included attending more conferences and going to dermatology clinics across Sydney.
“What I really felt was I needed to share this with as many people as I could,” Louise told ABC Radio’s Today program.
Louise is now an advocate at the Melbourne Skin Cancer Foundation.
She is also a consultant to the Skin Cancer Australia Foundation, a national charity that provides advice and support to people with the melanoma disease.
Louise will be speaking at the Australian National Cancer Week, on February 22.
Louise has written many books on her experiences with skin and cancer.
“If you think about cancer, there are so many different types,” Louise Molliton told the Today program, “and so many of them are invisible.
And it’s important to acknowledge the fact there are many types of cancer.
It takes a while to know which cancers are which, but it is important to get that information from doctors and from the people you work with.””
That’s really the reason why people are so scared to get tested.
It takes a while to know which cancers are which, but it is important to get that information from doctors and from the people you work with.”
We can all benefit from a lot of different therapies.
We can all be helped by having more information.
I just think we need to get more out there and get it out there so we can all help ourselves and those around us.
“
Louise was such a brilliant person. She
