I had had warts on my finger tips on and off for quite a while before my BC was first diagnosed. Just attributed it to the lowered immune system because of cancer. My doctor told me to buy the over-the-counter wart remover (liquid gel) and it worked. I did have something on the top of my head (scalp) when I was young. My other 5 older siblings never have had any similar problems. I believe that because I was born premature, I do not have as strong an immune system as my other family members do.

Gene is really the culprit. My Mother has had Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, and my 2nd Brother - the healthiest one among all the siblings - is recovering well after colon cancer surgery. He's undergoing chemo right now. 3 out of 8 members in just two generation - affecting both the weakest member (me) and the strongest one (2nd Brother) - there's got to be problems in our genes. [Environment factor would not count because 2nd Brother left home for military academy in his teens and Mother grew up 2000 miles from where we grew up.]
