Re: Scared that I may have skin mets
Hi Marcia,
Just logged in and saw you post. So very happy to hear that the rash is absolutely nothing to be worried about.
The first year after the treatment ends was the most difficult for me. I ran to the doctors almost every two weeks. I had a similar experience and my biopsy also came back clean.
In the first year, being so afraid of a re-occurrence, I had abdominal PET/CT scan, colonoscopy, upper GI endoscopy, brain MRI, lower back MRI...Every time there was a pain, a pimple or something else, I would rush to the doctors. It is so natural, especially, with our little kids, the stakes are so high.
We can all understand what you are going through. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
hugs,
shobha
