I am still uncomfortable from the healing process going on, I keep putting on baby petroleum jelly to keep the area moisturized. Take care! xoxo<BR/><BR/>Hi ROSIE - Every day is getting better and I thank you for your best wishes. xoxo<BR/><BR/>HANDKERCHIEF - I have not seen the silicone band-aids but I will look for them. I tried Mederma and had a severe reaction to it which is why I use the baby Vaseline. Thank you for your best wishes. :-)Wendy Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909065113601773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-68663017854719265022008-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:002008-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:00Hi LEY - I am glad you took the time to read my bl...Hi LEY - I am glad you took the time to read my blog.

My wife too has battled skin cancer and she has found that by using silicon band-aids (we buy them at CVS) the scar is greatly minimized. Best of luck to you, and I look forward to reading your blog in the future.Handkerchiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646842070230509251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-62584368363019230572008-10-20T09:51:00.000-04:002008-10-20T09:51:00.000-04:00Thank you for spreading more awareness about skin ...Thank you for spreading more awareness about skin cancer. <BR/><BR/>Wishing you all the very best!!<BR/><BR/>Rosie xRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861602553420699670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-86061482305082052522008-10-19T22:27:00.000-04:002008-10-19T22:27:00.000-04:00You are probably well on your way to recovery, so ...You are probably well on your way to recovery, so let me offer one tip passed on to me that I used in recovery from surgery in that general vicinity - once the incision is ok to put stuff on (besides antiseptic cream) - before the usual sunblock, I found a bullfrog waterproof quick sunblock stick (I think it's spf36) on the scar not only is extra protection that stays put and is easy to apply, it's got enough moisture that it helps the scar be more comfortable (I even put it on at night if the skin felt tight) - best in your recovery and hope you're doing better every day!!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023439892198039562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-51008098300608657742008-10-06T23:33:00.000-04:002008-10-06T23:33:00.000-04:00By the way Wen,What a GORGEOUS sunrise you capture...By the way Wen,<BR/>What a GORGEOUS sunrise you captured!!! <BR/>Stunningly beautiful shot!<BR/>Toodles,<BR/>AmyAmy...who wanted 4.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15975699278938818234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-21246699323274014942008-10-06T23:29:00.000-04:002008-10-06T23:29:00.000-04:00Wendy,I am so glad to hear all is well.I also am f...Wendy,<BR/>I am so glad to hear all is well.<BR/>I also am fair and protect my skin like crazy.

I've known several people who have had skin cancer, and it's something that nobody really thinks about until they're faced with it. You hear about awareness for breast cancer and other cancers all the time, but this is one that needs just as much attention.

Thank you also for supporting the Melanoma Bracelets; I thought they were so clever! I will keep your MIL in my prayers.

Thank you for sharing their story with me and my readers. You are absolutely correct when you say skin cancer can strike anyone. You have turned your painful experiences into a very positive way and quite possibly life saving reach to share educational information for anyone seeking it.<BR/><BR/>I checked out the website link you left for me; after reading through it not only am I very touched, but I am reminded of how inportant it is to make skin cancer awareness information - any type - available because everyone is fighting a battle or knows someone who is going through it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Andy for taking the time to read my story, checking out my website and sharing your with me.

My MIL struggles with skin cancer. She's going in for an acid face wash in 2 weeks per her dr's suggestion. Thanks for spreading more awareness about skin cancer with your blog. So glad to hear you are tumor free!<BR/>/ClaraCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182762749488326755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839403295641909408.post-64920098892819765832008-10-04T04:16:00.000-04:002008-10-04T04:16:00.000-04:00Reading your blog it shows you don't need to be a ...Reading your blog it shows you don't need to be a sun worshipper to succumb to skin cancer. I hope your operation is a success and your recovery goes well. I have a niece who is 28 who had a tumour removed 3 years ago and is still under her oncologist for regular checks and a friend who passed away of Malignant Melanoma in May aged just 30. Neither were people who "chased" a tan yet both fell victim. It really is a vicious disease that can literally strike anyone.<BR/>Because of my experiences i now help a friend run a research fund for the Christie Cancer hospital in Manchester England, which is the largest single site cancer hospital in Europe, with the intention of developing a very promising clincal trial to find a cure for Malignant Melanoma. It's www.factor50.org.uk for people who want information on suncare and to donate.<BR/><BR/>Andy Worthingtonandy worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416298822515419300noreply@blogger.com
