skin mets

Last October I noticed what appeared to be a rash on my left breast where I had had the bc tumor. It was no where near my lumpectomy scar--just an innocent looking rash consisting of several red spots which did not itch on the upper front of my breast. I just sort of ignored it but, luckily I had a regularly scheduled appmt with my onc and my rad. onc on the same day about two wks after the appearance of the rash. They both told me I had to get a biopsy and, sure enough, the spot which was biopsyed was malig. Up to that point I had never even heard of mets to the skin so was shocked at this turn of events. A PET scan showed that it had spread to 2 lymph nodes behind my breast bone and another 1 under my right arm but nowhere else for the time being. Am hoping that it will stay that way for a long time. Am taking herceptin/Taxotere once a week. There appears to be a slight improvement but am scheduled for another PET scan in two weeks. Good luck to you. Would be interested in knowing what your ONC has in mind for your treatment!! So, if you have a chance, let me know.
