Sad news. I had no idea that she was battling cancer.
It would not be surprising if Bill stopped coaching to be with his wife as much as possible, idk if thats what it was or not.
RIP

Dr Hoorta chiming in- wow, I have no doubt that's why Bill left coaching. It was almost certainly malignant melanoma- and for him and the wife to keep it under the radar is pretty incredible. Condolences to Bill and his family. It's treatable if it's caught real early, but if it burrows below a certain depth in your skin- it always spreads- and once it does- it's one of the least curable forms of cancer. Radiation and chemotherapy don't work.
And I'm speaking from personal experience. That's a good advertisement for SPF 50- I lost a good friend from the same disease a few years back who was in his 40's- the surgeon literally excavated a crater in his shoulder- and three years later, sorry- that tumor is like everywhere.

Most people don't realize that they should put on sunscreen BEFORE they dress. Clothing isn't as protective as we think it is.
If they apply it often enough, the average family of four should use an entire bottle of sunscreen in one weekend at the beach.
-
and that is doesn't work immediately, I hear...
takes several? minutes to become effective.
also, radiation from the sun is why sunglasses aren't just a comfort issue,
but also a health issue as well.
Mr. Hoorta knows all this stuff...

That's why I don't care about looking tan. They have the fake cremes, but most make you look kind of orange. Rather be pale white then dead.

no.. sunscreen is bad, unless there is one being made that proves it blocks the entire spectrum of UV light. Traditionally, sunscreen blocks the wavelength of UV light that causes sun burn, but not the wavelength that causes cancer. The problem is that people don't know when to get out of the sun because they are not getting burnt.. so they are exposed to even more of the UV wavelength that causes cancer. Yes, some sunscreen claims to be broad spectrum, but as far as i know, it's not regulated and there is no guarantee.
the basic formula of sunscreen was changed because it was thought that the sunscreen itself was causing cancer because so many people were getting it. But it wasn't the chemical makeup of the sunscreen that was causing it.

A few of things:
1. The best thing for any of us is to get SOME sun, without burning, so we will be able to produce enough Vitamin D to keep us healthy. Easiest way to accomplish this is to spend only small amounts of time in the sun.
2. A sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB is the best. A higher SPF is not necessarily better. Some of the best sunscreens are SPF 30-45.
3. There are some new studies which are looking into the effects of Vitamin A, fragrances, and other chemicals which are additives to sunscreen. These studies warrant prudent attention to future research but do not justify tossing the sunscreen just yet.
-
From what I have heard, around 20 minutes per day of sunlight is sufficient for the Vitamin D.
-
oh yeah, sunlight is good for you. Its just important to gradually be exposed to the sun's rays so your body's defenses can keep up.
