I have a skin question...skin mets can have so many different looks, right? And shingles...don't they usually start on the trunk? I have some rash on my legs, and did have it on my abdomen, but my ONC. said it was just a rash. It did/does itch. It went away on my trunk, but is still there on my legs. Both of them, like when you use a new soap. I do not think that I have skin mets (for once, believe it or not), but I wonder if it could be Herceptin related? Any ideas on my multi-focal question?

Take care,
Krista

Lolly,
I am sorry you are dealing with the skin mets and I hope and pray that your treatment will banish them...

I have a dumb question...those bumps, did they grow or remain the same in size? Just curious....

Thanks,
Kind Regards,
Jean

To all those with skin mets, I am sorry. It sounds like something that you may mistaken for something benign or a rash. Thanks for sharing so others are more aware of this. Found this photo link that looks like the bumps of skin mets you folks are writing about...
