Skin Mets

I had little red bumps or pimples on my chest below my breasts. The other women who had them only depended on chemo. Their skin mets spread to other areas. Since they were right on the surface of the skin I went to see my excellent dermatologist who removed them easily in her office. According to the pathology report some still contained cancer and some previously had cancer, but were no longer cancerous. The dermatologist told me cancer changes the tissue around it permanently. That is how the pathologist knew there was cancer previously. My skin mets were gone forever.
