Breast cancer and hot weather

Evening all

This is probably a silly question but is it advisable to avoid going out in the sun for long periods?

I have had WLE and SNB and currently waiting date for my op for ANC which is likely going to be in the next few weeks .

It is very difficult trying to avoid exposing myself to the sun as I do gardening, have to travel to work and generally spend time outdoors.

I have been adequately protecting my skin with sun factor 50 and avoiding the mid day sun …

I have been covering my scars so they are protected …

I’m worried that too much exposure to the sun may make BC worse especially as I haven’t finished all my treatments yet…

What are your thoughts ? Is this something I need to discuss with BC nurse ?

Hi Mavit,
I’m sure the weather will have no impact on the bc, as ever sensible precautions will suffice, as they do anyway.
Interestingly, where we are, is cool & cloudy at the mo, with a North Sea wind, so not hot at all!
