Skin mets- these are more like firm nodules under my skin, not itchy, not painful (yet); one is kind of reddish, about 1/2 inch in size. I have 4 and they biopsied one of them. One on back, two on chest, one on scalp.

There is a pharmaceutical trial coming up soon using lapatinib with something else; you must have breast cancer in your skin somewhere to be on it. It is opening down in Oregon I think. I will write again when I get more info. A doc in Oregon is opening it at the Oregon University Hospital.

thanks for the info! sara
