Rash
My last post I was asking if anyone experienced a rash over the breast & lymph node area which has been operated on.
I was told by my GP yesterday that it is the cancer which has spread to the skin. I had heard that this can happen but was very upset.
It’s three years from my first bout of TNBC I’m about to start chemo Thurs 15th. Nov.
Thank goodness I have a beautiful supportive husband and family.
Unfortunately we had to cancel a cruise to Tasmania which we had to cancel leaving this Sunday.
O well.

- kmakmMemberOh that's great to hear @LITHGOW1950! You've been on my mind this week. I saw an old friend on Saturday. Her sister's got BC and has a rash on the site of her mastectomy which has turned out to be cancer. She's having rads and a chemo pill now.
How you put the photos or pictures in is by clicking on the little landscape button on the far right above the box you type in. If you then click Choose Files, and then Files, you can choose Images and select from photos or pictures on your phone/tablet/computer. That's how I do it anyway!

Reading your post wow you must be pleased to know that it hasn't spread to the skin. I wish you well with the next round of chemo and hope the skin improves soon.
Take care - LITHGOW1950MemberJennyss....wish I knew how to put those little picture messages on my posts.
- LITHGOW1950MemberThanks again ladies for all your support. So I saw the oncologist today. She does not think it is the cancer spread to the skin. She thinks it's is either resulting from Radiothreaphy (even though I completed that in 2016) but more likely to be as a result of having 16 lymph nodes taken out in Sep this year.
So I will continue this Thursday with my second round of chemo.

from jennyss in Western NSW - LITHGOW1950MemberThanks for your reply @zoffiel. My rash is all over the breast I had the lumpectomy in 2015. And over and the around they took the lymph nodes out a month ago and has travelled around my side. Parts of it looks like a bruise. But it chances appearance. 😒
So I will definitely see my oncologist next week now she is back from holidays..
