Basketball Coach Has Cancerous Growth Removed - Possibly Linked to Earlier Skin Cancer

Jim Calhoun had what he described as a cancerous growth - possibly linked to an earlier skin cancer - taken out Monday.

From Boston.comhttp://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/2012/12/03/calhoun-reveals-had-cancer-surgery-may/I4KN3qqVc7lG7cIJwMy4YP/story.html:

"Calhoun told YES that doctors removed the growth, concerned it might be related to a previous skin cancer.

Reached later by telephone, Calhoun was asked to clarify whether the growth was cancer.

‘‘It was cancer-related, yes,’’ he told The Associated Press. ‘‘I'm not going to talk about it. I was out for a day and a half. I'm completely healthy now.’’"

How to Protect from the Sun

When it comes to protecting skin from the sun, the two most important things are to put on UV protective clothing and wear sunscreen.  Both can protect the skin from sun's uva and uvb rays - which is extremely important because these damaging rays can lead to skin cancer.  Keep in mind, to be safe in the sun you must reapply sunscreen often (as much as once every two hours or even more (especially if you have been in the water)) or wear clothing specially designed to protect from the sun.  For example, SwimZip swimsuits block 99% of UVA and UVB rays and are a great complement to sunscreen.  When Iplay at the pool with my kids, I insist they wear a swimsuit that blocks the sun's rays, sunscreen, and a hat.  When it comes time to protect from the sun, there is simply no excuse not to be covered.  With products like SwimZip swimwear (www.swimzip.com), rash guards, hats, and sunscreens - protecting from the sun has never been easier (or more important!)  Get out and play, but be sun safe!

Stylish Swimwear for Kids

Do you have a little fashionista in your life?  SwimZip is the place to come if you are worried about sun protection and have a picky son or daughter who only wants to wear what's in style.  We hear from parents all the time how their kids don't want to wear a rash guard because it's a pain to pull over their head or how their kid doesn't like the way it looks and how SwimZip fixes it all!  Check out what Mommy Testers has to say about SwimZip:

"Living in San Diego sun protection is constantly on my mind.  It's not a seasonal thought, it's a year round issue.  To complicate things, I've got a little fashionista on my hands.   My 3 year old daughter Kayla has recently developed an opinion of her own when it comes to clothing and that includes swimwear.  It's probably my fault as a veteran of the fashion industry, but don't tell my husband I admitted that."

We love this review done by And Twins Make 5!!  Thank you so much for great review of SwimZip and glad it was such a great sun protection for the kids!

"However, the company SwimZip heard about our planned trip and sent us one of their swim shirts to try out.  I was an instant fan!  No more pushing and pulling it over the kids heads as they yell that I'm caught on their ear or hurting their chin.  This ingenious shirt zips on and off making it easy to put on or take off even when totally wet."

Why start SwimZip?

People ask me all the time "Betsy, why did you start SwimZip?" Now you all can find out yourselves!

Being diagnosed with cancer completely changes a person’s view on life – at least it did for me.  When the dermatologist announced that, in fact, that red, flaky patch of skin on my back was skin cancer I hardly believed my ears.  Me, at all of 26 years of age, a victim of skin cancer? It was inconceivable!

So I have turned lemons into lemonade and started a UV 50+ swimwear line for babies, toddlers, and children.  SwimZip is home to the full length zipper rash guard / swim shirt that makes it easy for parents to take on and off.  SwimZip has transformed to the ultrahip, stylish, and functional swimwear line it is today!

Know I get my check ups for skin cancer twice a year, and sit back and enjoy sipping my lemonade!
