Hello friends,
Last week I wrote to you that I had to lay low and stay out of the sun for a bit, as I was going through a treatment for actinic keratoses, which are potentially precancerous skin cells. In short, a chemical was put on my face, ears and the top of my head. It was there for 2 hours, then I underwent BLU-U therapy for 16 minutes and 40 seconds. In other words, my head was baked. I could not go outside or be near a window. Four days later my face fell off and now I am looking good and feeling good. Special thanks to the staff at Marshfield Clinic and Hospital — we are blessed to have this facility in our region.
Long story short, I have been dealing with precancer and skin cancer for 25 years. Wear a hat, a long-sleeve shirt and sunscreen. None of the process of dealing with it is inexpensive or painless…
