Hi I was diagnosed with Actinic keratoses in September 2022. I was prescribed a chemotherapy cream called efudix. Which I used to remove the lesions on my chest and back. I also had 3 biopsies taken also. 2 of them turned out to be Basal cell carcinoma. I had surgery in January this year in my upper lip. Unfortunately they have to remove more as they didn’t remove enough. So I’m waiting to go back in to have this removed. At the moment I’m also going through an employment tribunal. My employer seems to think that because I admitted that I had Basel cell carcinoma to the consultant and that it had been there 6 year prior to diagnosis. I don’t understand what he means by that. How do I know that I had skin cancer prior if I wasn’t diagnosed with skin cancer. I admitted that it’s been present for 6 years but I didn’t know what it was until the results from my biopsy. Also I was wondering can I still lead a normal life regarding holidays? As my consultant said I can still go abroad. Just no sunbathing, stay out of midday sun and wear a factor 30 to 50 and a sun hat. He advised me to wear sunscreen on my face even on cloudy days. I’m just wondering can I still lead a normal life and still enjoy my holidays with my daughter. Any information would be helpful regarding this please
