Re: Skin mets? Symptoms?
Thank you Jackie and Carolyn. I appreciate your taking time to reply. Seems everything freaks me out these days. {Sigh}
I could not tell from the photos Jackie...some looked like what I have, some did not. The doc says it usually does not 'present' this way and I am otherwise well as far as labwork.
I didn't have radiation but the rash isn't anywhere around the surgery area. The doc does not think it is anything to fret about. That said, we are biopsing anyway next week. Always something to look forward to eh?
Carolyn, Happy Anniversary! that is a milestone. Keep on keepin on!
Dianne
