Alice,
I have noticed a pink spot just about 2 inches below my affected breast. I have been putting Neosporin on it to see if it will go away. Yesterday it looked a bit faded but has started itching and seems to be adding bumps. I see my onc on Feb 10 and plan on showing it to him if it is still there. I have a history of melanoma (actually all three skin cancers) so I imagine I will have it biopsied if it doesn't disappear by the 10th. You may want to consult with a dermatologist.

Alice,
I don't know about 'pink' spots. I had many keratoses on my back after 3 infertility treatment in the late 90's. Before finding my breast cancer in 2003, I had asked my dermatologist to take (freeze) them all off.
I did have two more on my face that were new and got 'frozen' treatment last year.
If you don't mind my asking, How were you able to raise your Muga score? Did you exercise?
Do you think Enalaprial helped?

Hi, I will see the Dr. tomorrow and ask about my spots and a good dermatologist and about having a test.
Vickie, yes I will say that Enalaprial helped my muga go up 5 points.
But also.....
I am now paying close attention to using my CPAP for sleepapnea. I don't have a clear idea of how much I have used it in relationship to my mugas. If my nose gets stopped up I have always stopped using it for a while. My research tells me I need to use it nightly and it will help my enjection fraction.
I am joining a club at home to start water exercise. I will keep you informed on my bring up my muga score progress. Let me know of any ideas you may have.
