Update for all you young people going to tanning booths:
You'll never have a tan better than this one. It was perfect. Dream on. And now, my dermatologist has a blast and charges me a fortune to remove a near constant stream of pre-cancerous moles created by this kind of behavior. It's painful kids and it leaves scars.
Danny Federici, for 40 years the E Street Band's organist and keyboard player, died on April 17, 2008 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City after a three year battle with melanoma.
"Danny and I worked together for 40 years - he was the most wonderfully fluid keyboard player and a pure natural musician. I loved him very much...we grew up together."
—Bruce Springsteen
Bruce and the E street band will play in Cardiff on June 14th. Danny will be missed.

My visit on Mothers day to my beloved Mother in Laws resting place,
I often go there when troubled by life's trouble to find peace,
I don't usually take photos in the cemetery but today I have a message,
Please read bellow.
I was diagnosed with skin cancer this week~melanoma- the bad one.
I am lucky~I caught it early and all tests have come back clear since the surgery:)
I was going to "save" this shot ~but have decided there is not much point to that~ live it out loud, right now, friends:)
Besides, I've since seen the two most epic shots ever to come from this locale (Ry Dy & Co) and my alternate title for this shot is "I fold" ~!
162/366,
Visit to a plastic surgeon today for day surgery on my back to remove a cancerous growth
Garden Village, Burnaby, British Columbia
….you won’t find me sitting in a field amongst the tall grass.
*you need to have your skin checked every year.

What's Your Sun Safety IQ?

This shopper at the Sydney Fruit & Vegetables Market in Flemington negotiates her way back to her car wearing a face shade. These shades are popular with asian ladies so as to protect their complexions from the fierce Australian sunshine. Note the lady in the background to the left of the shopper is wearing a variant style of shade.
Maybe they were googling skin cancer or sun damage or texting each other....either way, just too engrossed in technology to see the beauty around them.
Appreciate those who have written, and previous comments. I'm not quite up to commenting yet.
Just a cautionary tale: I suggest all wear a hat during the brightest times of the day.
I know, "hat hair" doesn't look great, but forget vanity. You, too, could have a surgeon trying to pull the top of your scalp closed after gouging out basal cell carcinoma en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal-cell_carcinoma, one type of skin cancer. I'm glad this wasn't melanoma again, which is a more aggressive cancer and far too deadly.
I'll not post the gruesome photo of the hole. Oh, and cutting off one's hair. Those extra-large attractive pins holding the gauze above the stitches came from the surgeon's office and his staff, and barely grasp remaining tufts along the edges of the wound.
But I have only myself (and redheaded parents and for many years that high Rocky Mountain sun) to blame. I'm lucky it wasn't worse.
Miss you all and see you soon!
Please take care of yourselves.
A study by Johns Hopkins scientists reveals the genomic information they found after comparing sun-exposed and sun-protected skin in younger and older individuals, and how skin changes with sun exposure and aging. The results -understanding the relationship between skin cancer, sun exposure and aging - will perhaps eventually enable scientists and clinicians to target the cellular pathways causing skin cancer and create new therapies.

Well to say that this is not sore is an understatement. The swelling in my eyes have gone down significantly since removing the "pirate patch" on Tuesday. The stiches are itchy as all get out near the corner of my eye it feels like there is something in the corner irritating it and the ones on the more forehead hurt like hell. Ice and muscle pain pills are my new best friends.
I am still finding it difficult to wear my glasses for a long period of time, as the Ocular Plastic Surgeon said I would find it uncomfortable but I am finding I can wear them longer than i could before.
I am slated to go back to work on Tuesday, that ought be fun. I have sick leave but I would require another Dr. note no doubt and I am afraid that I would not get in to get one until my sutures are removed on the 22nd.
Please don't ignore those "strange bumps" you find. I actually thought that this was a reaction to my glasses and never in a million years would have thought it to be skin cancer. I owe a big thanks to my ophthalmologist for discovering it and identifying it right away when I was in for a check up. The surgeon said it as all clear - I had to wait till the lab came with the results that they got it all from the piece they took out before I could be stitched up and sent home. The whole process took about 3 1/2 hours under local anesthetic and the 45 minutes to wait with a temporary patch on for the results to come back.
My eyes are a beautiful shade of "jaundice yellow" as I described it with a hint of maple leaf red on the lids right now. In due time it will just be yellow no doubt and the swelling will go down. until then, i will have to put up with the discomfort.
Sorry if i don't answer posts or visit and comment on too many of your photos as it is difficult to see without glasses. Thanks to you all for the get well wishes. Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Friends and family. I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
10 days after the surgery. I'm no longer afraid it's going to fall off. Thanks for all your well wishes my Flickr friends.
Eine neue Form des Sonnenkults entwickelte sich in den 60er Jahren:
Hellhäutige Menschen aus den westlichen Industrieländern pilgerten zunehmend in den Süden, um sich dort mit Leib und Seele der Sonne hinzugeben.
Das Ozonloch und das gesteigerte Risiko an Hautkrebs zu erkranken haben dazu geführt, dass sich heute immer weniger Menschen der Gemeinde der Sonnenanbeter anschließen.
Sun worship
A new form of sun worship developed in the 60s:
Light-skinned people from the western industrialized countries increasingly made the pilgrimage to the South and they devote their bodies with heart and soul for the sun.
Because of the hole in the ozone layer and the increased risk of skin cancer nowadays we find less and less sun worshippers at the beaches working on their tan.
Friday August 26th 2011.... Putting this one out there again in support of Cancer Awareness and to let all my Dear Flickr Friends affected by this terrible disease know Ted and I are thinking of them... Also for my Dad.... Always think of him on this day too. XOXO
Friday August 27th 2010
Today is the 20th Anniversary of 'Daffodil Day' An annual event in New Zealand which always falls on the last Friday in August... in conjunction with the Cancer Society. To raise awareness and funds for the support and research into the fight against Cancer.
Ted and I would like to dedicate this to all our Flickr friends out there who have a connection to the cause. In particular SolarScot, Cat, Lu-Gu and clayangel, Pyride86 and Jeanette
Unfortunately too many of us have been personally affected by or have loved ones that have been affected by this terrible disease. So our thoughts are with you all today!
And also to my father who was lost his fight to Skin Cancer in 1989...
Ted wants to remind everyone to enjoy the Sun...
But please be mindful of the strength of it's Rays...
And always remember to wear Sunscreen!
Please take the time to look at this wonderful video...
If you have never seen or heard this song before...
It has a number of wonderful message for all of us.... %-)
Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
"Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real toubles in life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday..."
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been kinda quiet of late because after countless hours in the sun, the old bitch cancer came knocking at my door...put everything on hold including my photo jaunts...
but as they say, "you can't keep a good man down"...(who are they anyway?)...
This probably won't be up for long...it is just haunting me at the moment.
The odd thing about the image is that my sister is truly beautiful and has amazing skin. By stumbling upon 'blue filter' I have found the most unflattering effect in the world ever. Her skin looks spot ridden, and extremely sun damaged. Other than that, edit was pretty much non existent.
So just wanted to see people's thoughts, if anything. x

A lot of Australian east coast beaches that have rocky headlands have had pools cut out of them so as to provide safer places to swim. Such is the one shown here at Austinmer. Flushed out at each high tide by the adjacent Pacific Ocean, they're still are home to fish and other sea creatures, but are free from sharks (well usually!).
I took this image the day before the schools broke up for the annual summer break, so each day now the pool will be alive with kids.
Note here that mum has covered up her little 'Bob the Builder' to protect his skin, but she's a candidate for sunburn and maybe later; skin cancer. Australia is the skin cancer capital of the World, a title we need to lose fast.
This week I found it harder than usual to step in front of the camera.
Earlier this summer I was diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma... on my NOSE! And another much smaller pre-cancerous spot on the base of my neck. I had them removed 8 weeks ago today.
They say Basal Cell is the "best kind" of cancer to get. If you ask me, cancer is cancer. I will be visibly scarred for the rest of my life, despite not having to go through any chemo or radiation.
I am eternally grateful that the diagnosis wasn't worse.
Today, despite my best efforts, I'm still feeling vain. I'm not ready to embrace the scar... yet.
So this weeks theme will also serve as a public service announcement. Get your spots checked. It could save your life. And of course, my mantra these days is wear sunscreen!
These skin cancer cells come from a mouse, an animal commonly used to study human diseases (including many types of cancer) and to test the effectiveness of drugs. The two cells shown here are connected by actin (green), a protein in the cellular skeleton. Although actin is required by many cells for normal movement, it also enables cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.

Many women in all Africa tend to put some cream on their faces to make the skin whiter, as they think men prefer it to the black one. Many women use those dangerous creams that can lead to skin cancer... I saw the same phenomenon in Oman.

This April 4th will be my 1 year anniversary since being diagnosed with cancer.
On April 4th, 2008 I received the news that no one wants to here, "you have cancer."
I was diagnosed with spindle cell melanoma which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. In 2008 approximately 62,480 people were diagnosed with melanoma and 8,420 people died from it.
The following is my story.
In March of 2008 I noticed a mole on the upper portion of my left inner thigh that seemed to be getting a little bigger, but I was not completely sure. Considering that my father was diagnosed with melanoma a year earlier, I thought it would be prudent to have it looked at, so I decided to make an appointment with one of my dermatologists (I have two). When my doctor inspected it he said that it looked fine and did not seem to follow the ABCDE's of melanoma. He told me to watch it and let him know if it gets any bigger. Needless to say, I left the doctor's office with a spring in my step and a sigh of relief that it was nothing or so I thought.
My divine intervention came about two weeks later. I am one of those people that takes great care of my hands... I get manicures, I exfoliate and moisturize, etc... so if something new was to show up on my hands, I would notice it right away, this would not be the case anywhere else on my body considering that I have a lot of moles. One day when I was exfoliating I noticed a small black "dot" on the inner portion of my right index finger. This was something completely new and was not there the day before! This really caught my attention simply because it was black and new... not a good combination.
So, without hesitation I promptly made an appointment with my other dermatologist -- not the one I had seen two weeks earlier -- to have this new black dot looked at. I thought that while I was there I would have him inspect the mole on my leg... essentially getting a second opinion. When he inspected my concerns, he informed me that the only way to know for certain what they are is to have them biopsied and looked at by a pathologist. So, I said go ahead take them off. So now I had to wait for the results.
I will be the first one to admit it, I really do not have a great deal of patience when it comes to medical issues -- this is something God is working with me on -- I like to have information immediately! I could not wait the whole week that I was told it would take for the results to come back. Later that same week I called my doctor to see if the pathology reports came back, and they were coming in by fax just as I called... talk about timing. The result from the black dot on my finger was nothing more than a new little freckle... I was so relieved because this was the one I was concerned about. However, the result from the mole on my thigh was not that promising... it was diagnosed as a spindle cell melanoma which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Furthermore, this is a rare form of melanoma and accounts for only 4% of the melanoma's diagnosed. This form of melanoma is usually misdiagnosed because it does not follow the usual patterns of the average melanoma, and if that is the case it is usually too late.
I was schedule for surgery 5 days later to have it removed and it was a pretty invasive surgery.
Finding out that I now had cancer gave me pause and I fluctuated between emotions, and it took a little while for the fact that I have cancer to sink in. Here I am 38 years old, married with a 13 month old son and now I have a disease that has the potential to take my life. Wow!!!! This diagnosis really put life into perspective.... the brevity and fragility of life now has center stage!
Life is so precious and should not be taken for granted as we all know and for some reason or another we neglect... for we are here today and gone tomorrow. You know, I never lashed out at God questioning, "why me?" To ask such a question is so inappropriate and self-centered (obviously), but the question, "why not me?" seemed more appropriate, but nevertheless difficult to understand. In life we never want to think that something like cancer or any other life threatening disease will find its way to our doorstep, but cancer is not a respecter of persons and should not be taken lightly... and it came knocking at my door.
I am very thankful to God for all the blessings he has bestowed on me in my life and for revealing this cancer to me in the way that he did... if he had not given me my "miracle freckle" I would have not gone into have the mole on my leg biopsied...this would have given the cancer a chance to grow and to eventually... possibly... take my life. To see that his hand was upon me in this situation is comforting and the prayers and support of my friends and family was absolutely incredible!
This week I am going to be scheduling my annual chest x-ray and blood work... which is something that I have to do for the next five year. They do this to make sure that my cancer has not spread.
At any rate, I guess my reason for posting this is that we should be very proactive when it comes to our health... because no one else will. We should not dismiss anything that we feel may be a concern... denial can be a TERRIBLE foe!
Since my cancer came from a seemingly innocuous mole... we should carefully examine ourselves (or have a spouse help) for any new or changing moles. If you find one, don't hesitate, make an appointment and get it checked.
Thank you for reading my story, and I apologize for my little novel.
This is how nicely my foot healed and it looks even better now. The graft was taken from my thigh where I have a few freckles so now Im getting some freckles on my foot, haha. I try to keep sunscreen on it when I wear sandals or bare feet. I was lucky to catch my Melanoma early and they still had to remove so much tissue around the tumor. My dad wasn't so lucky. Passed away at age 48 from same cancer. Seeing what he went through and how he suffered however made me notice mine earlier than I would have. I inherited not only his freckles!

I've heard several people recently talking about using baby oil to get tanned. As a person who has friends and family dealing with skin cancer be smart people leave the baby oil at home and put on at least some SPF 30+ with UVA and UVB protection.
Look after your bodies.
