@janemc Thanks for the suggestions. All good tips. I have to work on my discipline to minimize sun exposure. Need to face reality and accept a new chapter in my life.

Isn't that the truth!! Facing reality and accepting these changes are (for me) the hardest part. I am 79 next month, been on HU for almost 4 years. I live in Florida and avoiding the sun is a full time job. I already had minor skin cancers for most of my adult life, so nowwwww this!!
Aging is a series of losses (IMHO), and this is just one of them, I am grateful I am so healthy for an old girl and this is a minor but annoying loss.

@johnnychips It's really a matter of developing some new habits. I still go to the beach. Just not without the sun screen. Bon voyage!
