Hi,
Regardless of weather, use a moisturizer with broad spectrum sunscreen on your face and shoulders (and preferably a body moisturizer with SPF as well) 365 days a year. If you are out in the sun, you should use a sunscreen meant for outdoor use (designed to be sweat and water resistant) as well as hat, visor, etc. Bring it with you to apply more as needed. Be sure to use sunscreen that is at least an SPF 30 (my understanding is that the really high numbers such as 100 may not be necessary).
Most importantly, be sure that the sunscreen protects you select provide broad spectrum protection (from both UVA and UVB rays). Here are some sunscreen/makeup tips from paulaschoice.com:
- Stick to broad-spectrum formulas rated SPF 25 or greater. Ample research has now demonstrated it’s best to use higher SPF levels, as many tend to skimp on the amount of sunscreen they apply (thus, shorting them of the SPF rating on the label).
- We don’t recommend relying on your makeup as your sole source of sunscreen—unless you’re willing to pile it on (please don’t), as few of us will ever apply enough foundation, tinted moisturizer or BB cream to get the amount of SPF stated on the label.
- When possible, look for sunscreens that include extra antioxidants and anti-irritants, as research has demonstrated antioxidants improve sunscreen’s ability to protect your skin from UV exposure (Journal of Cosmetic Laser Therapy, 2010).
There are many great face sunscreens for work days available, and you can find a few recommendations here:
It is best if you can find a broad spectrum formula that also has the antioxidants and antiirritants. Depending on your skin type and preference, it may have a physical filter sunscreen as you mention above, or chemical one.

Thank you for your post, my understanding is that the tumor is growing. Having said that, his oncologist said that the Yervoy/Opdivo treatments may have had benefit because he was initially very anemic, experienced bleeding, and had to have blood transfusions and after taking the Yervoy/Opdivo regimen had thereafter not experienced bleeding and he was no longer anemic. However, I took him in a couple of weeks ago for a blood draw and he ended up losing consciousness at the doctor's office and having to be admitted to the hospital a couple of days and having another blood transfusion. So for several months between the transfusions, although the regimen was brutal and he lost a lot of weight, no blood loss/anemia.
Since my significant other has gone through the Yervoy/Opdivo treatments, we were told he will be a good candidate for the targeted therapy.

Thank you; he has had very low blood pressure the last couple of visits to the doctor. As to his appetite, it is complicated by the fact that the tumor has moved to his stomach and he was told initially that he had a six inch gash in his stomach due to the tumor (that was after his initial testing in March). I think of it as somewhat similar to someone who has had lap band surgery on the stomach, since he does get hungry and craves certain foods but his stomach cannot hold a lot of food so he gets full quickly. He tried anti nausea medicines but had trouble with them due to his stomach. Nexium seems to help.

Thank you for your response. He tells me that the taste of the chemicals from the treatment are what make him feel nauseated and that is what my understanding is as to why he throws up. He also has muscle fatigue, tired all the time, dizziness, and at one point a few weeks into the regimen, he had a horrible rash all over his body, which went away and fortunately has not since come back. At times he wakes up feeling like he has the worst hangover he has ever had, yet, has had no alcohol since starting the treatments.
