Re: Skin Mets

Yes, I did...I had one spot in the crease of my elbow about the size of a dime and had it biopsied. It was not IBC or mets but a B9 growth and goodness I can NOT remember what on earth it was called. However, it was on the arm where I had all the nodes removed. I still have the spot but it has faded in color. This happened in the first 2 years after I was diagnosed so I'm sorry that I can't remember more. It was slightly darker in pigment than my normal skin and raised with little bumps in it. I would think that the location of your elbow is not a place that mets would pop up very often. I was told that it being that far down my arm was not a place it would usually go. I know it is scary and I feel for you. Please let us know what the results are. Try to think positive.
