My prayers are with you, Sandy. I hope this Doxil continues to kick hell out of those skin cancer cells and that they'll never dare to bother you again. If anyone deserves good fortune, you do.

You asked if skin mets were seen in other forms of breast cancer other than IBC. Yes, people with 'ordinary' breast cancer can get them. I had a mastectomy on my right breast four years ago and then,...

Sarah

Hi Sarah, did you have surgery or are you just being treated with herceptin alone? I wasn't sure from your post. If you've not had surgery and are relying on herceptin to keep your tumour at bay then...
