a
recheck
after
he
is
done
shooting
in
around
two
months.
"Update
on
my
biopsy:
It's
comeback
'inconclusive'.
This
means
they
didn't
take
enough.
That
said,
the
worst
it
can
be
is
a
Basel
Cell
Carcinoma
(BCC).
So
when
I’m
done
filming,
I’ll
have
it
rechecked," Jackman
wrote
alongside
a
short
video
clip.

five

Update
on
my
biopsy.
It
came
back
inconclusive.
The
worst
it
can
be
is
a
Basel
Cell
Carcinoma
(BCC)
which
is
very
treatable.
When
I’m
done
filming
it’ll
be
rechecked.
I
know
I’m
repeating
myself
but
…
please
get
a
skin
check
and
wear
sunscreen.
Thank
you
all
for
the
support.
