    10 minutes of fully
    10 minutes of fully unprotected sun a day is good for you, but thats it. After that it cover it up. I already have pre cancer cell on skin from all the years of tanning ( really burning )without good sun screen. I have fair skin so now I really have to watch it. However I was told thats the cells I have will not turn into full blown cancer.

    Tasha your to funny girl.

    I don't burn........Evahhhhhhhhhhh
    I'm like my dad..Dark eyes and tans to Pakistani standards within hours.
    When I first flew over here for a short holiday I had a HUGE Jamaican guy next to me on the plane, he explained that turbulence was "Jast Gads' Speed Bumps" Then told me to stop tanning as I had almost reached his shade......I fell about laughing and the stewardess had to virtually carry me off the plane.....first flight nerves I guess.. He was lovely though.

    Cows' with parasols? LOL

    Hugs to you all.

    J n J Getting me the hip hop talk........Catch ya l8r Bro's! ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Confession~
    I had a trip planned for Hawaii prior to my diagnosis~my rad onc said to cover the area of radiation with a good high neck swimsuit~and use 50 spf all the time, especially in the water as it reflects the sun. This was 6 weeks after rads. We had a fab vacation. No problems.
    As for the self tanners~ i mix mine with some fragrant lotion and it goes on even and nice, smelling lovelier than the tanner alone.
    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....((((cyber~smiles)))

    I need to know: was the punch line to the Jamaican joke you couldn't tell, "Actually, it says, 'Welcome to Jamaica, have a nice day!'" ?????

    I love the sun, but...
    I'm a wimp and don't want to get skin can**r, too. This bc is enough. I use to work outside for hours at a time, now I listen to what my drs say and cover-up or use sunscreen. I wear a hat, long sleeves, and jeans to work out in my garden. People probably look at me and think I have lost my mind (oh well). In the heat of the day, I spend my time indoors.

    I use to get a nice golden tan, but since my dx I shy away from direct sunlight when I am not wearing using sunscreen.

    For you sun-worshippers, go get a few rays for me,

    Suntanning..YES! :)
    After the first time I had rads, I waited 5 months and started tanning, and, had no problem. This time, I will probably wait until next Spring to start, not sure. My radiation oncologist said NEVER! lol The rads tech said wait 3 months at least and use a sunblock. I have my skin checked once or twice a year by a dermatologist, so, I am on top of taking care of my skin. But, I do love a tan, and, I love boating, swimming, biking, anything outside. So, we will see. I did get a tan last weekend on the bike on my back. :)
