Posted by Alan Russell on 7/22/2004, 11:36 am, in reply to "tanning and sunscreens" You are now taking drugs that reduce your bodys ability to fight off 'nasty stuff'. Such as cancer. Skin Cancer (one of the most common cancers) is a real problem for transplant patients. I suggest you learn to live without the sun as much as possible. Wear SPF rated hats and clothing, and always use a very high (30+SPF) sun screen. alan
