Lost my father to skin cancer 2 years ago this October 13th. As a school administrator, I regularly go to our Health/PE classes and talk about skin cancer/sun block and the importance of staying protected. I'll just say this: yeah, the stuff is sort of expensive at around $10/bottle. However, when my father had brain surgery to remove some cancer that had metastisized from the original place, the chemo "wafers" that they put in the incision cost $37K each (there were two of them). So, lets review the math here. $10/bottle at 3 to 4 bottles a year roughly $45 (with tax). Do that for 40 years if you are middle aged and you are looking at a total of $1800. If this is for a child, then double the total to $3600, which is still significantly less than $37K per chemo wafer. Just a little math lesson about the importance of sun block. Also, please make sure to read the application directions so that it is effective when you go out.
Dang, I guess that I should step off the soapbox now. Didn't mean to rant. Hope that I didn't offend anyone, but this is a very sensitive subject for me.
