Skin rash & Heavy period

Gosh. The last two days have been way too stressful. An extremely heavy period landed me at the OBGYN yesterday. She was surprised at how heavy my period is. She took a tissue sample to make sure nothing pre-cancerous is going on and I will know the results next week. Has anyone had an extremely heavy periods after chemo?

Then I noticed a skin rash right next to my scar from bc surgery. I freaked out. My regular onc was not in today, so I saw another onc. He did not feel that it was anything to be concerned about. It did not have the usually nodule feel to it when its cancer. However, I am scheduled for herceptin on Monday, so they will recheck then.

Wow, I guess I'm still adjusting to the "new normal".
