I was told I had cellulitis on side of body but after a week of antibiotics gp decided I hadn’t so has referred me back to oncologist my bc was five years ago. I’m now worried I have skin mets  ive never heard of this before x

  • Hi

    I just noticed that your post hasn't received a reply.  I've heard of it, but I guess if it were to be skin mets it would be very unusual as usual spread from breast cancer is bone, lung, liver and brain.  I think you need to hold onto that and consider all the other possible causes that it could be.  Antibiotics aren't as efficient as they used to be for many people due to over use, so that may be why it hasn't healed after a week.  It could be the wrong type of antibiotic used for instance...

    But I guess you just have the awful wait now for your oncologist referral and I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

    Kindest wishes,
