Sun protection
Since treatment my skin has become extremely sun sensitive. I cannot stand out in the direct sun for 5 whole minutes or I start to burn and my hair and skin become very hot.
I now carry sunscreen in my bag if I go out shopping. I also have a cap in my bag if needed.
I love fishing and kayaking and there is no way I am giving it up even though I have developed a squamous cell carcinoma on my face which I will be getting cut out by a specialist surgeon two days before Christmas.
I found this fantastic long brim cap to wear and it has a drawstring for the face. It is amazingly cool to wear and doesn't put pressure on my nose like the neck scarf types do. I love it!

I still put sunscreen on for the times I am fiddling with a fish with the face part down and a long sleeve fishing shirt, finger-less gloves, spf long pants (yes, I have even been burned through thin stretch leggings), surf shoes and sock tops to protect the gap between my pants and shoes while in a yak. Yep even with sunscreen on I have had my ankles burned.
