From Baby Oil to Biopsies: Our Wake-Up Call on Skin Health
Today, we’re diving deep into skin health and cancer — not as experts, but through sharing experiences we’d like to help you avoid.
In this episode, we talk:
How baby oil and iodine once were Jan’s “sunscreen” (yes, really) and how that misguided vibe still haunts her skin today
Jan’s personal skin‑cancer story: from a spot that wouldn’t heal on her forehead to multiple cuts, stitches, and scalp scars
What MOHS surgery is and how it changed how Jan sees—and wears—her skin
The emotional landscape of having cancer (even non‑melanoma) and living with the “what‑if it comes back” anxiety
Practical, no‑fluff tips on what to look for, how often to get checked, and how to build skin‑care awareness as you age
If you’ve ever thought, “Wait, nobody told me this would happen,” then this is for you. We wish someone had said it earlier to us.
Tune in, share with a friend, and let us know your story if skin health or cancer has touched you. We’re in this together.
