Jane Haigh, from Leeds, who had melanoma, told her friend to get checked after spotting a mole.
The couple, who have twin sons aged 21, hoped the cancer would not return.
While she was undergoing treatment, Mrs Haigh saw a mole on Mr Snee's ankle when they were in the garden at his home. "If she hadn't, I would have done a blokey thing and would have probably ignored it. Before I knew it, it was being cut out," he said.
