Just looking around at UPF50 clothing. Not sure if worth it?

Also stepped up my suncream as used to buy whatever that was cheap but just got LRP and other brands highly rated after the Choice disaster (in Australia at least). I also need to buy a squishy hat that slips into a handbag more easily.

Anyone else?

I have so much riding on a positive outcome. It’s a long story but I live and work overseas full time and had to come home for this. If immunotherapy required my doctor said I’d be getting it every 3 weeks for a year, trapping me at home. It’s simply too expensive to do overseas.

I feel like my whole life plus my husband’s is riding on a positive outcome.

My doctor was clear and specific - I have 83% chance I’m fine and can fly back to where I was in 2 weeks and just get a skin check every 3-4mths and 17% chance I’m trapped here.

I’m digging deep to be positive. A girlfriend who is a GP told me by far most of her melanoma patients are fine and hasn’t spread. And I believed her.

My home is also Australia so I’m here in the skin cancer capital of the world so I feel confident my doctors have seen people like me a million times who are mostly fine.

The stress is just slowly dragging me under like a wave.

My husband had a disaster at a spa recently - very soft and gentle after specifically asking and paying for for firm deep tissue.

Any recommendations?
