Kendra, This is indeed a very difficult decision for you. Have they thought about IVIG? I have a headache tonight so I have only skimmed through all the posts. Those drugs are a significant risk for some cancers. The thing is that you have already HAD a cancer. That's a bit different than a "maybe" situation. Sunscreen will prevent further skin damage, however, most of the damage to your skin may have already been done before in your life.

I hope you can figure out what to do. Talk to your doctor again if you need to. Get a 2nd opinion from an oncologist (if you still are in contact with the one who handled your skin cancer, call them).

Good luck.

Annie
