Hi,

I've had some red bumps on my mastectomy area. 4 were removed and 2 were cancerous. My pathology report lists it as recurrent IDC, but they are 'dermal lymphatic'. I've since had a couple of new spots, 1 on my mastectomy side and one on my leg. The one on my leg seems to be going away.

What is the difference between skin mets and recurrent IDC that is dermal lymphatic? Or are they the same?
