Hi and welcome to the online community
I can totally understand when having a cancer diagnosis that it's important to have some way of staying in control and if for you that's wearing a good facial spf then there's nothing wrong with that. Having had malignant melanoma I know how important a good sunscreen is and I like the SunSense range which includes a tinted facial sunscreen.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so if you can tell me what type of cancer you are being treated for then I can link you directly to an appropriate group. Alternatively you could have a look through this list and choose the most appropriate one.
It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.

Hi latchbrook, thanks for welcoming me!
I have brain tumour - astrocytoma grade 2, left frontal lobe. I’ve have 2 surgeries, radiotherapy and started chemotherapy 2 weeks ago. I’ve noticed there are two groups, so not really sure which would be best?
Thanks x
Hi again
I had a search of the various groups and it looks like most people with astrocytoma join the brain cancer group although there are some in the low-grade brain tumour group too. You could join and post in both of those groups if you'd like to.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
