We all love the sun and a good afternoon playing or working outside but many of us don't consider Skin Cancer and its cost to the community. It's not all about doing something for you anymore. Whatever we do as a member of society causes a ripple effect for those in our communities. Skin cancer is a serious health problem that doesn't get the recognition or attention that are due.
We grew up as children, loving to spend long days in the sun, frequently without proper protection. It wasn't until recently that we realized just how hazardous the sun's rays are to our health. It's not our fault that we grew up thinking that sun=good. With a good SPF sunscreen and appropriate protective clothing, we can ward off the sun's harm and keep ourselves safe in the future.
Unfortunately for many of us, the call came too late. The damage is done and we're paying a high price. How are we doing this? For one, we're losing our friends and loved ones to an horrific disease that doesn't know any bias when it comes to age, gender or ethnicity.
Skin cancer kills, period. Though the cure rate is high, you've got to have skin cancer detection and diagnosis to do anything about the problem.
Lack of health care options and affordability can cause great problems for our community. The cost of getting to see a doctor and take any necessary treatment are far too great for most families these days. That bump you find on your shoulder may seem like a little issue that can be forgotten about until you have quality healthcare or insurance but you could be setting yourself up for disaster if you turn a blind eye to skin cancer.
We're losing loved ones, sad to say. This causes a serious drain on our community in many ways. It takes an emotional toll on those who we love and those who rely on us to do our jobs. This causes a ripple effect that may not end for decades.
When someone dies from skin cancer, hearts are broken and lives can be shattered. If the person financially responsible for taking care of a family dies suddenly without insurance, a family may end up relying on the public assistance system to survive. This takes a huge economic toll on the community and beyond.
Thankfully, most of the time, skin cancer is detected, diagnosed and treated. But what if you don't have insurance and you know that something is wrong? If you see a medical professional and get your skin cancer treated, who pays the cost? The healthcare systems often end up writing off the cost. This ends up reverberating through the health care system, causing a toll on services to everyone in our immediate community.
These are just small ways Skin Cancer and its cost to the community effect us all. There are long lasting effects that we may not know about for decades, Take care of your skin and protect yourself from UV rays and reduce the ripple effect on your family and community.
