    Hi

    Although one of the more uncommon sites for breast cancer spread, it is possible and does occur.

    There is a very good info page here at BreastCancerCare.

    Hope this helps and your fears are unfounded.

    Take Care, G n' J

  • Thanks for replying  I’ve been googling which I would never advise it was the breast cancer care site that made me think it might be as I was diagnosed with cellulitis but turns out it wasn’t. Gp didn’t know anything but as it’s on my surgery side they’re referring me to oncologist but two weeks is a long time to wait when you are thinking the worst x

    I had a couple of skin lesions last year which the oncologist referred me to dermatology for. I had biopsies done - turns out they were actinic keratosis -  generally due to sun damage (although I don't go in the sun and they weren't really in a place that would get burned anyway!) 

    They prescribed a chemo based cream (as they can be pre-cancerous) and they cleared up quite quickly. 

    Hugs to you - waiting is the worst time! 

  • Yes 

    Reasoning, support and knowledge is back

    With or without doors
