Bruised Wrist/palm

[Gary]

Hello all...

Long time lurker...first time poster.

First...I must say how much I admire and respect everyone on this board. Your love and support for each other is truly heartwarming.

Here's my question...this morning my wife noticed that she had a blotchy looking bruise on her wrist/palm. It almost looks like she caught herself from a fall. She did not remember any incident that would cause such bruising. Is this anything to be concerned about? What do skin mets look like?

Thanks,

Gary

Received Herceptin through clinical trials for 16 weeks before she had to discontinue due to heart problems (heart function bounced back in a few months). Ongoing treatment with Arimidex and Tamoxifin (periods returned after two years) Last scans were in May 2008 with NED.
