During the cold months, I do not have to worry about the sun as much as I do during the spring and summer months where the sun's rays are the most intense and where my body is the most vulnerable due to my Melanoma and because of my body's sensitivity due to all the cancer treatments and radiation I have had. However, I still enjoy the sun and still go outside but I do so in a different way than I did 10 years ago.
Not only do I wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, a bandana scarf around my neck, a hat, sunglasses, and when not wearing work gloves, I put sunscreen on all the other exposed parts. YES... in some circumstances, I am hotter... but, I do not have to remain inside... which is important to me... And yes... I still go to the beach.
In a couple of weeks my wife and I are driving to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week where we will rent an umbrella and two chairs under which we will spend the entire week when outside during the day. I will wear shorts and a T-shirt along with SUNSCREEN and will remain, for the most part, under the umbrella and out of the direct rays of the sun.
BASICALLY, NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR ME...
