Pete first of all, best of wishes for Cathy and I will put my prayers in also. We went through this with my father several years back (lymphoma) where the cancer started back up during the chemo. Only a pure miracle (and a test drug which never made it to market because of "marketing considerations :m" saved him. It just pisses me off to know that there is a drug which could be saving other which won't ever be marketed, not because it didn't work, rather because something similar (but not the same) made it to the market a bit faster.

As for the sunscreen I find a hat to be a better option. It keeps way more sun off of your face.
 
Peter, thanks for the timely and needed advise. Pray that all goes well. Know that all of us wish her a speedy recovery.

Best regardss, Tinkerman
 
Peter + Cathy my thoughts are with you as I have had a pre cancer wake up call with Actinic Keratosis on my face which may be a precancerous condition.
I lost my best surviving friend who also happened to be my eldest brother to the cheek to jaw form of the same melanoma that you describe for Cathy.
I am ofEnglish-Irish heritage ( Jovial, Pale pink variety ) but have been told by my dermatologist that we are all susceptible, so I wear 55 all the time. I have found product that doesn't feel like suntan goop or that plugs up your pores ( If anyone is interested, pm me)
My thoughts are with you both
 
Thank you everyone in our TR family. The 3A is up on the lift waiting for it's first start of the season. I've just been too busy to get to it. Soon, we'll have a nice ride with the new top installed with the zip-out window. Thanks for the tip about Tilley hats too -never knew they existed.

Again, thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts.

-Pete
 
Good wishes to you and Cathy. Here in the west I was surprised that I had to be rather insistant with the doctor to attend to my concerns. A quick look and "nothing to worry about," is not good enough. Thanks for the reminder.
T.T.
 
Pete,I will put in a prayer for your bride.I nearly lost mine to cancer 4 years ago so I know what you are both going through.God bless you both !
