Thank you for your reply!!! I have had this round red thing on my chest about 2 or 3 inches above my clevage . Its about the size of a pea but flatter...more like a squashed pea : ). It does bother me and my g.p. is sending me to a dermatologist for a biopsy. But I never heard of skin lesion being connected to bc. Thank you again! I was relieved to see someone answered my post. I was hoping no one thought I was some kind of nut or dummy.
Big Hungs back at ya,

I am starting to get very concerned reading all these posts. I had a lumpectomy in 2000 for dcis with marginal margins. The surgeon said that it was not really a cancer but like a pre cancer that they got early. He said I should probably have radiation but it was up to me. (Very Non-chalant) never told me to go off the premarin, never mentioned this tamoxifen. I wanted to be sure so I had many rounds of rads. Now, I have some mircrocalcifications (not many the radiolgist says)but sent me to a (different) surgeon. The surgeon wants to do a biop on that left one and because he found a lump in my rt. one...he wants to do a sonogram with a possible biop of that too. So from hwat I am reading here...my chances for recurrance plus ca on the other side were increased: 1. Because I've had a lumpectomy and 2. because I had DCIS even tho the surgeon said it wasn't really cancer (?) and 3. Because I still took premarin for a time after the lumpectomy? This is scarey news. Can anyone please enlighten me on this? I had a stroke in Sept. and I am only 56 years old....how can this all be happening?
