Triple neg now red skin

Jen79x

so I’ve just started ac dose dense for tnbc in my right boob and Thursday I had my second dose. 
All ok and dealing with side effects but this morning I noticed the skin where the tumour is and where was bruised from the biopsy and clip insertion is red?? Freaking out something’s spread or infected?

Hi there jen I had triple neg but had a mastectomy so not sure what’s going on with you and what’s the clip for ?.. . How much redness is there ?. Is it warm to touch ?. It’s hard to say without seeing it ?. How long ago was your surgery... do you have a temperature ?? I would have  it checked out with your gp at least asap but if you have a temp or even just don’t feel right I’d go to the hospital. Margie x

Thanks Margie 
i don’t have any temp and I haven’t had any surgery yet (doing chemo first). They put a breast marker clip on the tumour so that they could locate where it was if I’m lucky enough for it to disappear during the chemo. 
Its not hot it’s just like a red patch right over where the tumour is ?
weird isn’t it. I’ll take a pic when I get home 
thsnks for your advice!

Hi @Jen79x I was left with a circle bruise and redness from the biopsy. And it lasted for months and months. I also got a bit more bruised when they inserted the clip but not so much redness. 
Id check with your doctor or chemo nurses. It could be from the chemo maybe. I got a bad rash on my face but it was from paclitaxol not AC. Im also triple neg and did AC and taxol.

Get it checked out to be sure not start of infection. It will stop tbe worry if nothing else.
