Hi Lyn,
I also had Navelbine. The skin mets that was a rashy area was taken off for biopsy before I started treatment, and it never came back although the scar has gotten itchy a couple of times; nothing develops there but I and my onc keep an eye on it. The other skin mets were little tumors that sprang up around the mastectomy scar line, and they shrank away within a few months after starting Navelbine. I've never felt anything else resembling these two types of skin mets.
Do you think it's too much to hope for that your new area of concern might be an allergic rash from the chemo? The other thought I have is maybe a condition they call "radiation recall", since you've had a lot of radiation to that area, but guess you'll have to have a biopsy if it doesn't clear up...
Keep me posted, I'll help do research for your next chemical cocktail, seeing as how your onc takes your lead :)
Love, Lolly
