I had R prophylactic mastectomy (no node dissection) and removal/placement of ports 3/3/06 while on three week Herceptin. No problems to report, healing fine and have regained strength and ROM.

?= I have at least 1 basal cell skin cancer to be removed. It is below my collarbone and on the same side as my masectomy(with lymph node removal).
Is it O.K. to have it scraped or removed(since it is on that same side) ? kat in the delta/e-mail me- thanks
I had a right mastectomy (left was performed at primary diagnosis) while on 3 weekly Herceptin, with no problems whatsoever; in fact, my oncologist and surgeon were adamant that I stay on Herceptin during surgery and recovery, to prevent possible micro mets from spreading.
