Hey Sister Survivors. . .

I have very sensitive skin and the red-hair (hehehe). However, I've dealt with

the sun issues 5 years now.

The heat, sweating, rash, redness, blotchy skin, etc., you name it. . .I have

experienced it. I have not found a 'cure', if you do; please let me know.

Nothing my Dermatologist has prescribed has worked, now approaching my 5th

summer. . .I am again going to wear sunhats/visors. I've purchased a new

sunscreen for this season, I've only used it several time and cannot 'recommend'

it this early in the season, though I've had no problems.

I was told after diagnosis that I needed at least a 45 SPF due to taking

Gleevec daily. Last year, I purchased a 90 SPF and though I didn't tan at all. .

..I feel that it alleviated the sweating, rash redness, etc., somewhat. If you

don't care about not tanning, try a higher sunblock.

Hey, sister Judy. . .CONGRATS ! ! ! I've been wondering how you were after

going back on our gold. . .hehehe. . .PCRU~~CONGRATS!!! I am 0.00021 per 100,000

which is FANTASTIC for me after my morbid mortality; I say THANX for being

alive. I know I will never reach PCRU. . .CONGRATS to ALL who do.

As always, I have ALL in my prayers. . . " K "
