I’m so sorry. I had it in the mid-90’s, but the margins were taken in outpatient surgery and I was fine. No surprise, the only “sunscreen” we used was iodine and baby oil.

Saying a prayer tonight for healing.

Sorry man. Hate to hear that.


It is my biggest fear working on the boat everyday. I wear long sleeves and use sunscreen. Been doing this over 30 years. Makes me nervous.

Seed oils friend. Seed oils. Do your own research. Takes five minutes

Well genius, those people well south of you have more melanin therefore less risk than a pasty white boy whose ancestors originated in Europe. I don’t know why that is difficult to understand

The medical knowledge on this board is astounding lol yes, cancer cells can be extremely aggressive for example certain sarcomas can double in size in a very short amount of time. The assumption is that all cancers grow slowly. That is a poor assumption

Black people don’t need to wear sunscreen because their skin basically is sunscreen. It’s very racist of you to not remember that, OP.

No relationship between seed oils and skin cancer.

You must have gotten sucked into an unsubstantiated hypothesis.

I have battled skin cancer all my life. I’ve had 19 melanomas and I don’t even count all those other types of cancer. I go to my dermatologist every three months. So far so good. Between me and him we have caught them in the early stages.

I didn't assume that. In fact, Id bet the majority of people believe cancer grows rapidly. A melanoma developing and spreading to the liver in one year is rare.

When we were young kids and teenagers suntan lotion was more about getting a tan and not much about protection.

There was Hawaiian Tropic with like sunscreen 2, but many times we were using baby oil and sometimes mixing in iodine. We had no idea of long term skin damage.
