Hi Tag:

I don't have any experience with skin mets although I know that there are people on this site that do. If I were you, I would search the site using "skin mets" as a search parameter and see who has them if no one volonteers to answer your question and email them directly.

I think that skin mets are one of the slightly more uncommon places for the mets to appear so I don't know how many people actually have them to respond to you.

Having said that, I would suggest that your friend get herself checked out RIGHT AWAY. If skin mets show - the most likely site IS at the incision site. If she isn't in a position to see an oncologist, at least get an idea of how suspicious the rash is. Even a GP at a walk-in clinic could give you a better idea than the internet.

Good luck,
Merridith
