    Ex Leeds star Vinnie Jones has revealed is is suffering from the most serious form of skin cancer. A check-up revealed it was melanoma.

    Doctors have since found more tumours, but Jones told The Sun, he would fight it with "everything I've got".

    "When the doctor said I had skin cancer, the first thing I thought was 'how long have I got?'" he told the newspaper.
    "It's weighing very heavily on me all the time," he said.

    What are the chances of both parents getting same horrible disease - how sad for those poor 2 young girls who face losing both parents to it.
    Amount of Brits that go to live abroad and ignore the dangers of the sun is shockingly high though!!

    Vinnie is actually very low risk (95% chance of survival) as he's young and in good health - his wife is very high risk though as she has had a heart transplant (several years ago mind) but reduces her survival rate to 40%.
    That said, they are in the fortunate position of being able to afford top medical services which increases their chances <ok>
