Sunscreen

[cfred]

Perhaps she needs to see the pictures of me following a surgery 18 months ago. A tumour that ran from the side of my nose nearly all the way across to outer edge of my cheek. It was only detectable from a small, white spot on the surface. The tumour needed to be cut out, the hole refilled with something (still don't know what). To repair the facial damage, they did a 'cheek flap' repair, which is basically cutting half your face off and shifting it. I have a scar that runs from just above my top lip, all the way up the side of my nose to my inner eye, across all the way to my hairline, down the side of my face where it turns a little to make way for my ear lobe then down to about the middle of my neck.

This was from what appeared to be a tiny skin cancer. It was Basal Cell....and that's the one you DO want 'cause it won't kill you. That mum is crazy. Use the sunscreen. I am a dark haired, dark eyed woman. The staff at Sunnybrook was astounded that I had this. That little girl will fry. No negotiation....sunsc reen. It's waaaaay too important...take it from this sun worshiper who didn't think sun protection was all that big a deal.
