A word of warning - although probably too late given the weather forcast… I sat in the sun for a 1/2hour a couple of days prior to my last chemo treatment, didn’t bother with sunscreen. Normally I don’t burn, i just tan but now 1 week on my shoulders are crispy & sore with a couple of blisters. When I had my last chemo, the nurse told me to use factor 50 if I was going to sunbathe as when on chemo, your skin can’t repair itself - too late for me but hopefully somebody else may benefit. Surely this is basic information that should be given from the word go?
thanks wattsit - it’s very hot here and luckily my head is saving me from myself - it hurts in the sun
having said that if i do progress to a wig I’l have to remember to cover up my ams and legs - so thanks very much for this
… . at the moment …I am turning into a cross beween a mole and a cavewoman …
I have never done "pale and interesting " before - I usually go brown as a berry at the slightest hint of sun
… this is going to be a very strange summer …I might have to forget mole and cavewoman and do vampire - only go out at night!
…this can get very surreal can’t it - it’s like being in some black comedy film! …
love FB xx
I know exactly what you mean - usually if the sun shines, the housework gets ignored because I like to make the most of the sun when we get it. Shoulders still very sore despite piling on the acqueous cream, don’t know what else to try. I have an aloe vera plant & am thinking of trying that, but if the cream doesn’t do the job what will?
Personally I can’t do the vampire thing - I am definately not a night person. Never mind, I could always become the worlds leading exe4rt on daytime TV. Oh God - shoot me now.

tell you what Thelma - talking of daytime TV - I have been watching a lot of "Murder She Wrote"s and most worryingly i have noticed that the supporting actors are sometimes the same actor playing different parts! Yesterdays “father” of someone or other was last months “murderer” the policeman from Chicago who investigate the death of the chap who lived in the villa. If you watch cosely enough there are lods of people who come up quite often!!! … no idea of names … only do faces ! … how worrying is that ??? and in a different episode yesterday the woman that the post boy fancied was some sort of modern witch in a previous episode! …
