Conquering Cancer in the press

Have you ever stood waiting to cross the road with the sun beating down and attempted to take cover in the shadow cast by the traffic light? 🚦

Or maybe you’ve hovered under a tree while your kids play in the park, or crouched at the beach with a towel draped over your head and shoulders? If you often find yourself looking to take cover then you just might be... a shade seeker? 🧐

Shade is a topic you might not chat about often. At least not until you’re caught out baking in the sun with none in sight.

Our hot tip to keep cool- it’s all about designing spaces with shade in mind!

Maybe you don’t need to talk about it at dinner parties but let’s make shade the topic for communities and policymakers alike! Proper, protective shade isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity- so lets get the conversations started. 🙌

So if you do consider yourself a shade seeker - tell us how you do it when you’re out and about?

We learned about shade from the experts while filming for Conquering Skin Cancer so we’re better at avoiding being caught out without a hat, sunnies or a coolcabana! But it still happens, and you can’t underestimate the benefit of hiding in the shadow cast by a traffic light...

Ray walked into the surgery to remove a BCC on his nose at 7:30am. By 11:30am, it was “all over red rover!”

Mohs surgery was quick, simple, and practically painless- and yet within the space of just four hours, Ray was cancer free. 💪

In a week, he’d be returning for a quick checkup- but compared to weeks of radiation, chemotherapy, or invasive surgery, this is a great option!

💛 Hear more about Mohs surgery and more inspiring stories in Conquering Skin Cancer, in cinemas now.

“You can love them just the same- you just learn how to do it differently”.

A rugby accident rendered Al a quadriplegic when he had a six year old daughter, and a wife who was six months pregnant. But his new life never got him down- the only thing he ever said to Julie was, “I wish I had hands”.

This was just another hurdle to face for Jules and Al. And one they conquered together. Al’s daughters grew up riding on back of his wheelchair, feeding him, and using his EFTPOS card to buy him a coffee when they were still in diapers!

Watch Jules and Al’s full story on our YouTube channel now. Link in bio.

So you’re heading outdoors, it’s warm but it’s cloudy and it’s a bit rainy. So perhaps you’re wondering- do you need sunscreen? After all the sun isn’t out? Firstly, go you for thinking about it, (many of us don’t) but secondly, it’s a big help to understand:

- How types of radiation differ, and how they can impact us?
- What does the UV index actually tells us?
- Why it is so important to check it every time we are outdoors?
- Who is ARPANSA, and what do they do?

A/Prof. Sarah Loughran and Dr Stuart Henderson break down the answers to all these burning questions.
