Can you ladies tell me what skin mets are like. A pimple showed up on my arm about a week ago. I have ignored it, thinking it would go away in a few days. It has not gone away and it is now sore, hurts to touch. It even hurts outside a 1/2" diameter of it. Should I be worried? I know I have been feeling like I have been put out to the pasture some what since I have been off of Herceptin for a month now, with no drugs to help combat the cancer should it decide to re-accure again.
