A Message from Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill
appreciate you advocating with all of us in the community! You’re a force!!
Tan skin is the equivalent of about SPF 4 or 5, meaning only 1/4th or 1/5th of the sun gets through. This is why it's harder to burn after you build up a tan. (And why naturally darker skinned people take longer to burn.) Obviously. Is the trade off worth it? That's a better question but this scaremongering is the equivalent of telling people they'll go crazy from a single joint or something. Totally puritanical.
What a lovely lady. We should listen to her.
Just amazing! Thank you to all the volunteers! ❤
Thank you too!
I wish this video didn't have the constant whistles, but love the info!
RIP Luis
Had so much fun that day! Helping others see the importance of skin checks and gaining the knowledge they need to continue with it in their lives!! Enjoyed working with this AZ team at DHS RV
Such an important PSA.
Thank you!
i’m so sorry
Does chemical sunscreen work right away? So if I apply it and go in the sun do I have full protection?
The best practice is to apply any type of sunscreen 30 minutes before venturing outside to allow the sunscreen to bind to your skin.
I understand, Ron. I get checked every 6 months. I am 59, have many spots of it and a couple surgeries of deeper cancer. I also have many scars and just had another spot removed. They do keep popping up…
I'm so sorry for you Duty Ron. But when should you go to a dermatologist? I'm terrified that I will get it someday. Already had a suspected basal cell carcinoma frozen off. And I have a spot on my nose that breaks open and bleeds then heals and then forms again. Being a ginger I know I'm at high risk. I burn so easily even with sunscreen on that I just mostly avoid going outside in the summer.
Thank you for the reminder! My dad battled skin cancer. Every little spot I find I'm always making Dr appointment just to be on the safe side. Thamk you again for your service and prayers for staying healthy.
Unfortunately by the time us boomers got this information it was too late. The damage was done in our younger ages when we all played outside for hours and in Oklahoma we took 9 mile canoe trips( used some sunscreen but didn’t reapply after our canoe was flipped or we jumped off a bridge( it’s illegal now😏)and went swimming. I do have yearly skin checks and have caught a few basal cell cancers early. I do hope your message reaches some teens , but at that age we all thought we were invincible right😟. Wishing you better check ups in your future 🙂 2:23
I'm also a survivor of squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma, and now I think I have another lesion... so you're right. You need to see a dermatologist. Don't put it off. Some of these cancers grow really fast, especially squamous cells, and it can get into your blood, and it can actually kill you. Thank you for sharing your story. Skin Cancer Awareness Month is held annually in May. The campaign aims to educate the public about the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and how to prevent skin cancer. It also highlights the importance of early detection and treatment.❤
Thank you Kathy and wish you well on you next check up
Bless you DutyRon, praying that you stay cancer free 🙏
Meredith thank you kindly
God bless pappa Al
Duty Ron spent his whole life protecting people, so the least we can do is protect ourselves from the Sun as a thank you to him 🙏🙏🙏 ❤
Kat, Thank you my dear friend! That Texas sun is powerful be careful out there
Love you pops ❤❤
Love you son
Love you so much Duty Ron!!!❤ 💙
Twila, love ya my southern bell
@@DutyRon ❤️ 💙
@@TwilaTwila-xw2bisee you soon
@@DutyRonYes Sir!!!
Thank you, Ron, for making this video on the dangers of the sun
Bonnie, you're welcome
Yes, Ron it is for sure no joke. I will be facing my 4th Mohs surgery soon :-( I have Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis. I was a huge sun worshipper as that was my medicine back in the day. Now I pay the price. I started on biologic med 6 years ago but now that is causing me issues as it has given me liver issues. Ugh!!! I keep you in my prayers knowing you are facing these surgeries. People think skin cancer is a joke and I am another one here who says NOOOO IT IS NOT!!!
Prayers for you 🙏🏻
Ron, sorry that you’re going through this❤🙏
Carmina, thank you hope you are well? I am Missing Josh😢
Thank you for sharing your journey and advocating about the dangers of sun exposure. I used to be a careless beach goer living in Cali all those years and now living in Az, I'm a big proponent of skin care and protection! I'm sorry you had to suffer through so many procedures and pain but thankful you have a positive and powerful testimony to give to to the public!
You and Rob stay safe. The sun isn't our friend!
My dearest friend, Sharon Williams, died of stage 4 skin cancer. She fought a tough battle, but the big C won. Thank you, DutyRon, for this important reminder. I had to cancel my appt to the skin cancer Dr because of financial constraints. It was to be my 1st appt where they would have checked me out all over. I was a sun worshipper back in the day, and baby oil with iodine in it was my suntan lotion. Every year, I would burn before I would get tanned. I haven't sat out in the sun since 2018, when a falling tree took out my pool. Thank God yours was found in time to successfully treat!!
Ron, I’m so sorry…🙏🙏🙏
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing, DutyRon! 💙
Lu.G god bless
Lost my brother in law to an invasive skin cancer. It’s no joke. Thank you Ron for bringing awareness ❤to
Smoore, I am so sorry for your loss🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@DutyRon 🩵🩵thank you. Take care of yourself!! We need you!
Thank you Ron for sharing this I too have had 6 surgeries to remove skin cancers I know the pain. I get checked annually and check myself often.
Debra, I do self checks and go semi annually. My wife even check my back and places I can't on my own.
Prayers. It is scary. You are strong. God is with you every minute.
Thank you Jeep girl
I had shit cancer 3 years ago and just today had 2 more dodgy looking moles removed
Thanks for sharing.. my dad now in his 80s has been getting chunks of skin taken off here and there as well. The deepest on his back. He refuses most doctor visits but my mom beat him into submission, so to speak - haha- on this topic!! Long Live Papa Al, age 86!!
So sorry Ron, my husband has had his 4th surgery and now needs two more. Like you said, more keep popping up. I'm glad you did this video.
Joann, sending you and your husband all my best
❤ thank you DutyRon I have a checkup soon with new dermatologist. I wear big hats and sunscreen ! Thank you for the important reminder!
Eileen, you and me both lol
Thank you for sharing with everyone Ron. I am in the same situation. A lot of sunburns during my Navy years has caused chronic skin cancers on my scalp and forehead. People do not realize what the sun can cause.
Jerry, Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇸
Ron, I’m so very sorry that you’ve been dealing with such a scary situation for years. The sun is a silent killer. Thank you for your years of service and now, for your continued service to your followers. Your courage and candor will save lives. God bless!
Thank you for watching and supporting the Skin Cancer Foundation
We're continuing to pray for you, DutyRon. You and Ed are angels on earth.
Alma, Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
@@DutyRon you're so very welcome.
Sunscreen!! Every single day! There are also so many great formulas out there for oily skin, dry skin, and combo skin. Girls, hydrate, sunscreen, and then foundation. Some of my favs are Naked Sunday, Australia Gold Tinted, Haru Haru Wonder, and La Roche Facial Moisturizer Sunscreen. ;-)
I’m sorry you’ve had to endure so many surgeries, Duty Ron 💔💔. Such a powerful message, and I’m sure it will help others 🙌. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Karen, thank you for watching and supporting the Skin Cancer Foundation
I have gone through the same. I had a moh's procedure above my lip. On the surface it looked like a small pearl colored area that would bleed at times for no reason. I went to be checked by dermatology and found it was basal cell cancer. I spent a lot of time in the sun growing up and going to the Jersey Shore. I now get checked routinely.
Thank you for sharing.🙏💗🤗
Thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing awareness!
Lori thank you
Pray for you to be healthy, always! ❤
Thank you kindly
Thank you so much for sharing and helping to bring awareness to this. 🙏❤️
Kittieku, my pleasure. Thank you for watching.
I have had melanoma removed also. Mine did not look like the typical poster pictures! Everyone should be checked by a Derm doctor yearly!
The girl at the end... is that Cristiana Love from IG? She is from SD and would make sense if so
🖤🖤🖤
Love Candice!! She’s a real true advocate and warrior!!
It's very rare for a primary care Dr to refer someone to see a dermatologist. Idk how anyone would get a yearly exam by a dermatologist. No one is sent to see one unless there is something very obvious going on with your skin AND the primary care Dr feel less than 40% confident in a diagnosis.
Thank you for sharing ❤
