Last September I was diagnosed with cancer, Melanoma to be exact. It was NOT ideal timing (a few months from my 11-11-11 wedding). I found the cancer on my ear because a mole has started to grow in size. I underwent treatment for two months and then went off to allow time for the swelling and infection to settle prior to my surgery this last March. I am asking you all to PLEASE get your skin checked. My good friend I met up at The Huntsman Cancer Institute while I was going up there for treatments passed away last night from this ugly disease. Cancer has taken far too many people from me and I do not want to lose anyone else. STAY OUT OF TANNING BEDS, SPF daily, eat Vitamin D, take care of yoru body (you only have one), eat healthy, do not put harmful chemicals into your body (such as aspartame), and most of all live each day fully!
The Doctors had an episode on Melanoma. It was a great episode filled with lots of information!
A quick little lesson on SPF from my awesome oncologist:
Front label- Broad spectrum UVA + UVB protection
Back label- zinc oxide, titanium oxide, and avobenzone need to be in ingredients.
Thanks and have a great day!
Cancer free is the life for me!
