I want to thank you all for your responses and prayers. I am still awaiting appt with dermatologist. The area in question is on the side where I had my prophylactic mastectomy and is near to port site. Onc says it appears to be a melanoma. I will most definatly need a biopsy. In answer to Cat question, yes Hep c is treated with interferon also, I don't think the same dose though. It breaks my heart I can't be there for my daughter as she and her husband go through his treatments. We talk on the phone daily and I can tell she is already worn out and the fight has just begun for them. This disease sucks!!!! You girls are what help me keep my sanity. Thank you again.
