I wear large brim hats often and also wear long sleeves, even in the summer - it sucks and gets hot. The clothing brands I use are omni-shade from colombia and colibear.

Anyone else have any clothing brands they use or other clothing items they recommend?

Hi, burntme... I "had" skin cancer. I apply sunscreen if there are any times that I do go out in the sun, which is rare. But even when I do go out in the sun, keep my body completely covered with UV protected clothing, sun shades, and wear a brimmed circled hat.

I just found out about my skin cancer. I am very afraid and feel so alone.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
