AGAIN-- Is anyone dealing with swelling/cancer cells which have produced a solid-like red area of inflammation on the chest wall under the collar bone -- on a masectomy site from late 1996 ?

I'm getting a CT/PET scan in a week......

    My original diagnosis was IBC so there was skin involvement.  After my bil mastectomies and before rads I had a small red growth on one of my incisions and the Dr's thought it was a skin met... we didn't biopsy it though because of potential for infection so soon after surgery  AND rads would be the treatment.

    Hang in there.....

    Blessings and hugs
