Hi Leslie,
Sorry, I can't answer your question about bc mets to the face; I am in a similar situation myself so will be interested to see if anyone knows. I saw the dermatologist a few weeks ago and am going back this Wednesday to have a mole on my abdomen biopsied and a raised area in my hairline removed. Since I have had all three skin cancers removed from various parts of my body, I am assuming that if anything, it will be skin cancer again. I hope it is that simple - skin cancer sounds a lot less frightening than bc skin mets.
I sure hope things turn out okay for you and that this is just a false alarm. Hang in there and try not to panic. I know, easier said than done. Be sure and keep us posted on how everything turns out.
Congratulations on nearing your five year mark!
Take good care,
