Should I be concerned?

Emma303

I was diagnosed in October, 08 and had a bilateral masectomy and chemo (A/C and Taxol).  It is almost a year since I finished chemo.  I noticed that on the side where I had the original tumor, I have some scaly dry skin near the scar of my mastectomy but not on it.  They are like 3 half circles on one side.   I have an appt on Friday just for a check up, but I should I be concerned?  I am a worrier, so its not hard for me to worry about reoccurence!

Hi Emma,

I hope you have nothing to worry about!  My first diagnosis was in '97, I found out in Dec. 09 my cancer had spread to my spine.  With cancer,  you can never let your guard down....

Emma, it does'nt sound like a recurrance but have your surgeon or onc check it out to be on the safe side:)
