Sherry,
I had a bout with shingles last spring that showed up on my bc breast and back (same nerve path) and of course, my first thought was that I had skin mets. I had the really bad pain, where I couldn't even touch my skin it hurt so bad. Anyway, same as you, I was relieved to find out it was shingles.
You'll feel better soon. Ask your doc about Valtrex (sp?) that's what they usually put you on since it is viral, not bacterial. I had to do a 10 day course, but felt much better after the 2nd day.
