Both my father and my grandfather have had it as well...but they got it in their 50's, not their 30's.

I am glad she's positive, and hopefully is surrounded by lots of positivity!<br /><br />I've been pretty paranoid about wearing sunscreen, particularly over the past few years or so. I've never been big on spending lots of time out in the sun until I started running long distances. Now, even when I run when it's still dark outside in the AM, I wear sunscreen on my exposed skin -- especially the face. I've even started wearing some under my makeup day-to-day.<br /><br />Oh, I forgot to mention why this is... about 3 years ago, I a mole on my back shoulder got bigger. One day, I just noticed it and asked my doc, who recommended I go to a derm, who recommended a biopsy. I clearly remember him holding the mole on his fingertip, lol. Test was negative for anything, and to save myself from that kind of stuff, I guess I naturally gravitate toward sunscreen, even though I don't like the smell or concept.<br /><br />I constantly have to remind my boyfriend to use sunscreen. I know he hates the smell as much as I do, and we've gotten into some spats over it. He's fine about it when it's running a marathon or going to the beach/hiking, but otherwise, he needs massive coersion.Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695544893811029409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-47045220715752835012011-01-20T17:57:25.773-05:002011-01-20T17:57:25.773-05:00I'm am very sorry to hear about your mother an...I'm am very sorry to hear about your mother and really hope that everything turns out well. Please be careful about overusing sunscreen, though. Most experts agree that sunscreen should only be used when in very sunny conditions such as the middle 4-6 hours of a summer day. Not only does sunscreen prevent Vitamin D production, it appears that many sunscreens are themselves carcinogens. I've read many of the studies and the results are very mixed when it comes to determining the net benefits of using sunscreen regularly. Nearly everyone agrees that mild sunshine is beneficial, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750719458678454318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-84394509816203479652011-01-20T16:45:28.018-05:002011-01-20T16:45:28.018-05:00My mum had the same thing a few years back, and sh...My mum had the same thing a few years back, and she has never ever sunbathed in her life, in fact she has always been good at covering up. I have been pretty vigilant over the last decade or more, and now take so much pride in my pale skin through out summer. Though now living in the UK will be different from living in Milwaukee with the amount of sunny warm days, i used to and still will choose my clothes wisely. Finding cool but covered clothes instead of bearing too much skin. Then i need lees sunscreen. It all helps.<br />I do hope that you continue to cover up, with clothes of lotion in the future :)StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301869800350490116noreply@blogger.com
