Temptation Island Finland familiar from the reality series Waldemar “Wallu” Kettunen28, says Stop having received a cancer diagnosis.
According to Wallu, the cancer was discovered when he had gone to the doctor’s office about six months ago because of a stomach ailment.
– The doctor then noticed that I had a rather unpleasant-looking mole on my back, and he urged me to see a dermatologist, the man recalls to the magazine.
That’s what Wallu did. The dermatologist ordered the mole to be removed. The removed mole was sent for pathological examinations. About five days after the operation, the doctor told Wallu on the phone that he had been diagnosed with melanoma. The information naturally came as a shock to the man.
– It did make me think that anything can happen in life. I had such a stopping moment. I don’t know what to think about this, he says.

According to Wallu, it is not yet clear whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. However, there are still more moles around the removed mole. Wallu already has his next doctor’s appointment booked.
Wallu admits that he has been nervous about talking about the topic in public. The man hopes that his story could help spread awareness about skin cancer.
– I hope that my story could serve as a warning example. Take care of yourself, and remember to use sunscreen, he reminds.
Wallu participated in the fourth and seventh seasons of the TIS program: first as a single and then as a couple Emilia’s with whom he met on the show. The couple had separated, but in 2020 they got back together. The two parted ways for good in April 2023.
Today, according to the introductory text of Wallu’s Instagram account, he works as an entrepreneur in the events industry.
