Whenever they tell you "You may feel some discomfort" you know it's going hurt like the fires of hell.

I had the follow-up Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy yesterday. It was painful, but not as bad as the first time. I think part of the difference was that I knew what to expect, also there wasn't as much skin damage since the first treatment had repaired some of it.
They say to stay out of the sun for 48 hours. But I had a lawn guy come to give me an estimate this morning, so I had to go out to talk to him.
It had only been about 20 hours and they were right. The sun started to burn pretty good after a few minutes.
So when they say to stay out of the sun after Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy, believe them.

And now 2.5 years later I have had the Red Light PDT.
As advertised, it hurts more than the Blue Light.
The Red Light torture device is smaller than the Blue Light device, so instead of a 16 minute treatment, I got 10 minutes on each side of my face.
The deal is, they put medicine on your face and give it an hour to soak in and find undesirable cells. Then the Red Light PDT hits those cells and blows them to bits. No more pre-cancer/cancer cells.
It takes a couple days for the medicine to dissipate. And the Sun can activate the medicine, just like the Red Light. So, I'll hide indoors for a couple days so we don't get unwanted exploding cells.
So, no golf for 2 days. I teed off 5 minutes before sunrise today, temp. 33, and played in non-stop rain yesterday. But at least I got 2 games in this week.

I’m supposed to get this. They building where there do it at Columbia flooded (plumbing problem) so they had to reschedule me. I’m not very excited about it.

If offered, use the hand-held battery operated fan to cool your face during treatment.
The lady who did the treatment this time offered to spray my face with water a few times during the treatment. I don't think this was offered 2 years ago. Accept this offer.
