Meanwhile, Maria\u2019s undiagnosed melanoma festered, unabated, mere centimetres away from her carotid artery and lymph nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time there seemed to be no reasons to rush to the hospital and risk contracting the coronavirus. That is why Maria decided to wait until her annual check-up on May 11 and have her bump checked out at the same time.
