aubiefifty 16,754 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 we lost 72 a while back which sucks. i would like to ask people to be careful with sun exposure. since october i have had over thirty skin cancers or precancers removed.i have had two whole face treatments. today at eleven i go for my second heroes op to remove all of a squamus cell cancer. these things grow tails and they have to be removed with a lab set up for margins. if left unattended they will grow and when they reach the ol lymph nodes it can spread throughout the body. if not treated these bad boys can kill you. i have been told that only a melanoma can kill you which is wrong.the melanoma's can kill you qiucker than any form of cancer out there. the squamus cells are slow growers but when they hit the nodes they are just as deadly.but other than a small amount of worry and a real pain in the behind it can be dealt with. the sad part is i still have a lot of spots to deal with. so i ask folks to be careful outside. hats. long sleeve shirts. beards, and even long hair are your friends.sun blocks are great if you get a good one and keep it applied when sweating or swimming. i think the worst thing is having to go into these doctors offices while covid is lurking. and the lady that biopsies and freezes some cancers off had it and i was exposed once already but she was fine and i never got it. but i got the dreaded" you have been exposed" call. also remember water and sand reflects the suns rays and can get you that way as well. i just want you guys to stay well so i can still keep confusing you guys. oh and the freezing leaves a white circle like scar so i am turning into the polka dot man which is not a good look but it sure beats dying. be careful out there................

Thx for your experience led advice. I am an old guy and am dealing with poor sun experiences from earlier in life also and it is definitely easier to be proactive early than reactive later.

AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I am a 69 year old Red head who grew up on the ocean so was out in the Sun all the time. I have had multiple mose surgeries and countless liquid nitrogen treatments so I know where you are coming from. As a kid I used to put on baby oil which only made the sunburns worse.

Prayers fifty. Hope it's not too bad for you today. I try to take as many precautions as I can due to having a fair complexion. I can look at the picture of the sun and get burned it seems. Long hair as a protectant hasn't been an option since my 30's lol, so I wear a cap or wide brim hat if I'm out for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a strange time/place for this post. it is permitted for a day or two if it is slow. some people put it in the football section like 72 passing because people go to the football posts first. it will get moved or mine will. 72's might hang around some because he had a ton of friends on here. just a thing man just a thing...........
