WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR CANCER PATIENTS
We provide Sunshirts to local cancer patients as part of their IAC, Inc. package.
Why Sunshirts?
- Chemotherapy and radiation can increase your sensitivity to the sun, putting you at risk for burns. Even if you’re not sunbathing, it’s important to take precautions any time you’ll be outside.
- Some treatments for cancer, like radiation and certain chemotherapy drugs, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. You can still enjoy summer days and outdoor activities by planning ahead to protect yourself from sunburn:
