UCSF sent me bills for RT even though my HMO paid the bills - it was over 300K just for that.
My wife is an licensed esthetician so we're really into skin care over here - wear your sunblock every day - even when it's raining outside. We have a lifetime risk of skin cancer due to the amount of radiation we have received. I got a letter from the doctor to allow me to have darker window tinting on my driver and passenger doors with 99.5% UV filtering.
She told that most creams will dry out your skin so the doctor was right.
