In the biopsy they have shown changes that may have led to cancer but luckily so far none have.

Better to be safe than sorry

Exactly! Did you get further treatment to remove them? My report said there were FOUR pathologists looking at mine to try and definitively diagnose because it was such early stages!xx

The ironic thing is, straight after I got the all clear from my surgery, I booked Florida for next year haha! Clear from skin cancer? Book a holiday to the sunshine state, that's wise!

Is that sunsense factor 50 ? I've just got 2 on prescription for DS as he has light sensitivity from medication .
You will be fine in Florida , I think it's doable with planning .
I've bought a white cotton beach cover up and a wide brimmed hat and some factor 85 & 50 . I plan to go to the parks early then leave for a leisurely lunch / siesta and go back to the parks early eve .
It's retraining your brain that pale skin is pretty , I love that golden sun kissed look but it's just not healthy unless its out of a bottle lol
It's funny , I do wonder how many people are walking around with MM and don't realise
Every holiday I go on I see people quite literally frying , will need to bite my lip if I see people allowing their kids to burn though :angry:

Yeah it's sunsense factor 50 I get, it's really good, goes on really easily! Oh, I wouldn't hold my tongue, I am like the Mole Police, I think I am severely annoying everyone, ESP on FB because I'm always posting reminders to people when the weather is good haha! I never, ever thought it would happen to me, I'm pretty sallow skinned, Italian heritage etc etc, just shows you that anyone can get it! I'm sure the damage was done in my teenage year, girls holidays, factor 10' 8' 4 and then 2. Stupid and naive

Glad I'm not the only skin police lol
I used to drop down to factor 15 ! So bad
Haven't burnt too badly as an adult but do remember frying as a child .
My DD wants a tan at the mo I've bought her some Dove summer skin , she's moaning about wearing factor 30&50 so I'm going to dispense some into a low factor bottle just for some peace on holiday .
Most the girls in her school look orange with those strange eyebrows , I hope that's not the look she's aiming for ha ha

That's a brilliant idea! My DD is 11 and she looks amazing with a tan but factor 50 it is! She's not quite at the wanting to be orange stage but I'm sure given a couple of years that'll come!
