skin mets from bc
I had a herceptin treatment and saw my onc on Tuesday and she is sending me to a dermatologist for a place on my chest near my port that she says looks like a skin cancer. Anyone else have skin mets from their breast cancer? I tried researching this and didn't get much info. Also want update everyone on my son-in-law in PA. He had 3 melenomas removed and his sentinle node was positive so they remove all the nodes in his groin, only one positive. His scans were all clean and he starts his interferon treatments Dec. 14. Five days a week for 3hour infusion for four weeks then injection of interferon 3 times a week for ll months. Sounds very grueling to me.
