I had firstly a little bump on the scar line. It was like a cyst, but it didn't weep. I got antibiotics for it for 2 weeks, then my GP sent me back to surgeon who excised it in his rooms. Came back positive for br cancer. Then, due to the incision I suppose, I got a "rash' of skin mets. Had Herceptin as first line of treatment for 2ndaries, had CT scan which showed more 2ndaries, but good old Big H wiped them out. Since then (Jan 05) I have only had to deal with recurring mets to lung
