My diagnose is for ECCRINE POROCARCINOMA on April 2024,which I have been told this is a very rare cancer. Has anyone else got the same cancer or know someone.
Also my brother died from cancer but my consultant says its not inherited. I don't know much about this cancer as there's not much information apart from the British Association of Dermatologists as it explains what eccrine porocarcinoma is and how it's diagnosed and treated.
I have a follow ups for the next 5 years every 4 months from the diagnosed date. I also had a rodent ulcer removed from my nose in July 2017.
Hi Wildcat sam
I haven't had eccrine porocarcinoma, although I did have a basal cell carcinoma (rodent ulcer) removed from my chest a few years ago, but I noticed that you hadn't had any replies to your post yet. Resonding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I've done a search in the group to see if anyone else has posted about eccrine porocarcinoma but only found this one thread I'm afraid. Unfortunately, the original poster has left the community but your could have a read of the thread to see if it helps at all.
Hi Larchbrook, I left a message on the other link about eccrine porocarcinoma just incase they become members again Thank you for finding out that thread
Hi Latchbrook. I'm worried about the suspected rodent ulcer on my nose as that is where I got it cut out from before. I'm going to phone my cancer nurse on Monday for a check up. My nose is sore to touch on the area of surgery before and a small lump has begun to show. On the other side of my nose there's a swelling under the skin.
Yes, it's a good idea to get checked out. let me know how you get on.
