Tizz,

To follow up on Helen's post, I've also had a small BCC removed from my face. I noticed it about a year ago and had it removed and biopsied right away. My dermatologist thought it probably was related to the prior radiation in that area.

Over the years since my radiation, I've tried to be more vigilant with sunscreen, as I play golf and work in the garden from time to time. Just yesterday I was at the beach (we're on vacation) and was able to stake out a spot in a small portable cabana -- that way I could enjoy being at the beach while still having plenty of shade.
