Dear Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
 
I live in tropical southeast asia and am like many of you blond haired blue eye
tomato looking guy. My problem I am having is I only have health insurance in
the country I am living but there are no specialists on skin cancer since 99% of
the population is beautifully tanned and the dermatologists spend more time
studying how to turn a brown person white rather than focusing on skin cancer
issues.
 
I am in my mid 40's and have many many basil cell carcinoma's and lot's of
precancerous lessions. My mother who is 80 and also has the same skin type has
had great response from Efudex. She gave some to me but the problem is the
nature of my job is I have to be outside and sweating alot everyday so the
Efudex is sweated out before it's effective. I have to support my family so
camping in a house for a month or two is not possible at this moment.
 
So what I have done is order the desposible cryotherepy  so I can freeze off the
lessions that seem to be multiplying and growing fast.
Again, I want you all to understand that I have no access to a doctor who can
cut out or even has experience with skin cancer. I am praying for job
circumstances to open a door in which I can move to a place where treatments are
available. For the meantime, I am doing all I can for myself by myself. And yes!
I do not allow myself to be burned by the sun anymore!
 
Just looking for some opinions and wisdom, especially for any of you in my
situation.
 
God bless you all as we fight together.
 
D
