Scary stuff, but at least you are on top of it.

Too bad you couldn’t have gotten a posting in Sweeden where the sun isn’t as much of an issue…:)

seems here i can’t avoid the sun!

I wouldn’t worry too much. Your mom’s coming! And, what excellent advice. I wish we had known to wear sunscreen all the time when we were younger.

true, and we’ll have a great time! when i was younger i just thought sunscreen, schmunscreen. (i probably didn’t really think that, it was just my attitude!

I’m crossing my fingers for you and your biopsy results.

I am always careful with the kids, but my husband, who spent all his days in the sun unprotected as a child, still goes out without sunscreen. Idiot!!

truth be told, i have to force myself to put it on. i’d much rather not. but i have learned

My prayers are with you
as you wait for the results.
My sister, like you

regularly sees
dermatologist for these
scans and treatments too.

Hugs and blessings,

story, thanks. i’m so thankful that it is fairly easy to keep an eye on, just have to be diligent. which really isn’t too much to ask.

I am so careful with the boys – talk about hypocritical though, I always hated wearing it myself! Now I won’t leave the house without factor 100 slapped on!

not hypocritical at all. change is good, especially a change like that!

Good one! My husband went through pretty much the exact same situation that it looks like you did. Not fun, but you live and learn. I am much more vigilant about myself, the kids AND him now.
Nice post!

mandy, thanks. some lessons are learned the hard way, but at least they are learned!

Great reminder! I am the freckle queen, so I’ve always tried to be careful, but it never hurts to remember why I’m being careful! Hope your results are negative and no more future scares! Happy Friday!

thanks, jenni! and happy friday to you, too!

I am vigilant with my kids and now with myself. As a kid, though? A tan was so cool! The idea of my children never enduring a sunburn is crazy and wonderful to me. Great post and I am hoping for good news from your biopsy….

the sad thing was i never tanned. at one point i was hoping all my freckles would just grow together so i wouldn’t be so darn pasty!

I try not to be as dumb as I was when I was younger, but this is a good reminder, and timely, too, headed into summer. Great ‘ku that may have saved someone’s life or at least a bunch of scary medical hassle.

oh, i so hope i’m smarter than i was when i was young, maybe not quite a smart as i thought i was though!
