Re-occurence on Skin - Waiting on PET Scan

maevictor

Less than four months after radiation and four weeks after Herceptin red spots started appearing on my skin - it was cancer to two oncologists, breast surgeon and plastic surgeons disbelief. Waiting on PET/CT scan results. Radiated skin feels warm - not sure if that is from todays radiation. Also, more spots showing up on affected skin side. God, this really sucks. It's like getting diagnosed all over again but a whole lot scarier because you know how luck you were the first time around. Now this disease in my body is just scarring the crap out of me. How strong aggressive is it. Anyone else have this?

So far just back on my skin - praise the lord. Also, now I get a PET/CT scan six months from now which would be one year or so from my last treatment (barring any other symptoms).
