Temperatures are rising - tips of staying safe in the sun

Thank you Rachel for this.  I have had two recent basal cell cancers removed and am being so very very careful. Not going out of the house at the moment, but your information is very useful.  This site in general has been my lifeline. Thank you to the team for looking after us all. xx

Thank you Rachel

Reminders are do important and watching the news over the past couple of days I've cringed to see so many people ignoring the sun warnings we've had.

I've recently had a basal cell cancer removed from my nose and like Harlyn I've not left the house for two days.

It's healing by secondary intention so it's an open wound 

Hi Harlyn, 

Thank you for your comment, I was sorry to hear about the two recent basal cell cancers you have had removed. That sounds like a lot to go through, and I am really glad that you have found us here on the Community for some support at this time. 

Here on the Community team we appreciate that the heatwave is having an especially big impact on the cancer community and those going through treatment, or those who have been diagnosed with skin cancer - so we want to do all we can to help. 

I'm glad you found the blog useful and I hope you continue to find the Community to be a place of comfort and kindness. 

If there is anything further myself or the team can do to support you - please don't hesitate to get back in touch. 

Take care,
