Re: Scared that I may have skin mets
I have a big red splosh on my scarline (nickel size). It gets redder when I shower so when I get out, I really think about it. It showed up after radiation and it never went away. It does bother me that its there just because it IS there. But it has been biopsied and it is nothing. I have had alot of prickly heat rashes too - those really freak you out for sure. It is good to get it checked. Things won't bother you as much as time goes by - Lien was right as I am 6 yrs out and I am more relaxed to "wait and see" for a couple of weeks.
Try and relax and have a nice weekend.
