Hi Ruth, I have had skin mets twice before. First on chest above scar line and it was started out as a small red patch and got bigger, the biopsy proved positive and the tissue was used was used for the HER2 test which came back positive 3. Xeloda got rid of it. Then another came up behind my ear down the side of my neck same side while on still on Xeloda so changed to Navelbine with Herceptin for lump and got rid of both. Now I have another I think where my latest lump on the other side of my neck has been treated, but problem is I have had heaps of radiation to that area, and symptoms are reddy purple and itchy and the area has always been thick and hard since getting lump, lump gone but still thick and hard so I will see my doc on Monday and in the meantime nappy rash cream has been working so hopefully nothing, but knowing me it is never nothing and at the moment I have been enjoying NED for the last 2 weeks.
Love & Hugs Lyn
