As per my profile, I was diagnosed with PC in March 2024. After surgery, I am having PSA tests every two months as my score has been slowly climbing. In February and through to today I have developed a mole on my cheek that has grown at a regular rate. By mid March 2026 I was back at the doctors and she immediately put me on the 2 week cancer system for skin cancer. After sending pictures to a dermatologist, this has been confirmed as skin cancer. Both the doctor and the dermatologist stated that there are studies that have established a link between PC and skin cancer.
I hate to make such claims without offering any evidence so will just quote the following papers:
Daffodil Centre Study, 2022, British Journal of Cancer;
Systematic Review & Meta Analysis, 2020, Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology;
Analysis of Prostate Cancer Patients, 2013, Journal of Clinical Oncology.
I am posting this in the hopes that PC sufferers will be aware of the risk and take the necessary care to use factor 50 suncream during the upcoming hot days of summer.
