Melanoma

Tweet

I went to see a dermatologist(sorry if my spelling stinks) and found out I have melanoma on my back and face. The dr, acted like I did my sun damage on purpose.I told him I wore sunblock spf 100.Same as my kids, and they never burned and I did.Then he just tells me in a smarty tone that I should have never went to the beach, or been outside while the sun was out! I couldn't believe him! I am a farmer, I garden every summer,without my gardens we wouldn't have enough of food alot of times. And I am responsible of all of the yard work at my moms and here at home. 5 arces each to mow and weedeat. I have tried to only work later in the evenings, up with sun you have daylight.I can't that stuff in the dark. So what is a idea to do? I do get up at the break of dawn, it really isn't light enough out to see much,but in the summer that is when I hit the garens or the yard work. And then try to finish it up at 6pm til dark. I also do my moms gardening. I now use since my beach burn day a big strawhat, and wear a thin airy long sleeve shirt to work in with a muscle shirt underneath. Always wearing sweats or capris. Very seldom do I wear shots unless I can have time to spread on some sunless tanner. I feel bad now,like I did something really wrong to make him talk that way to me. But I really did tell him that I was thinking I was protecting myself.100 spf,reapplying every 15 min. and it was waterproof bullfrog stuff,and it works for my kids,why not me?He never offered to say if there is anything he can do about the melanoma.Is there a treatment for it?Here's another thing, I got a plantar wart on my foot, has anyone heard of putting you foot in super hot hot water to be rid of them? He told me to do that 2 x's a day for 3 weeks.
