The 2nd of September marked my second year being cancer free!
In 2004 I had surgery to remove a melanoma from my neck and luckily the cancer was caught earily enough to be cut out with little impact (a 3 inch scar is all that remains.)
The “diagnosis” of cancer can be a life changing event.
Suffering from psoriasis and now living with the prospect of further skin cancers, the sun is now a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that my psoriasis clears up in dry, warm (sunny) climates, the very same environments I need to protect myself from!
As long as I protect my skin from the sun when I’m out for more than a couple of hours, I’ll be ok.
