Hi Lee - thank you for welcoming to Carenity.
I did develop skin cancer on my nose due to UV exposure. I am very fair skinned and spent too much time in the sun and tanning beds. Doing what I can now to make sure I am healthy and safe from the sun.

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.

Hello,
Skin cancer is commonly linked to excessive ultraviolet (UV) light exposure - from the sun or tanning beds - and inadequate UV protection, such as protective clothing and/or sunscreen.
How about you? Has your skin cancer been linked to previous or excessive UV exposure?
