Although I avoid the sun at almost any cost, this year while fishing I slathered up with SPF30 and couldn't hang onto the rod,  (fishing pole) darn near lost it in the Niagara River.  Honest...........

I guess I was a tanner when I was younger. For me it was avoiding

The dr to check a spot. I let it go for so so long that it got bigger. You

Don't see how big it is till they take it off, had to have plastic surgery because

I waited so long. Maybe it will keep that spot young. :-)

Don't use the spray on...lotion only...linked to liver cancer...

Paula,

I have do sunscreen thing too - Dr's orders.  4 years ago had pre-cancerous lesion taken off my back - right between my shoulder blades.  No heavy lifting or stretching for a couple weeks due to the stitches.

 

For hot outdoor activities, I have moisture-wicking SPF 30 pants and a SPF 30 Hat.  Then i just slather up the remaining exposed skin on arms and apply a layer on the ears and nose.  Hat keeps the sun off the forehead (and a "thin" spot on top) this way do not have to put sunscreen on my forehead.  When you sweat, sometimes sunscreen will come off with sweat and roll into the eyes - that burns.  Try taking out contacts while your eyes are burning after running up the stairs half-blind from sunscreen in the eyes.

 

You have to avoid getting a sun-burn on any portion of your skin once you have had a pre-cancerous lesion or skin cancer.

Remember on a cloudy day you still can get sun burned.  Be careful while outside.

Growalot,

 

Hope all went well with the MRI. I did not get my results back for week after mine before having the knee surgery years ago.  Being completely still for a long time was difficult for me.

 

Maybe you can get a temporary disabled permit and go out hunting on ATV like a Gator if surgery is necessary.

Had my knee done last year...ACL..PCL..& MCL all complete tears. It sucked. Just do the rehab & what the Dr. tells you. It takes time but Im sure you'll be in the stand this year. Good luck.
