Can anybody help?
I noticed an odd light brown mark on my breast (but above the area affected more in the middle of my chest). It is slightly darker than my skin colour - slightly scaley (maybe dry). Is this a reaction to the chemo?
Has anybody had any experiences of odd marks on the skin?
I’m a bit scared about this.
Thanks
Sorry to hear that you’ve had a fright. I finished FEC back in June. I didn’t have any marks on my skin, but I had loads of other ailments - I’m sure no-one gets away without something. My advice is to call your breast care nurse right away - she’ll be able to tell you what it is. Don’t suffer - sitting worrying is really bad for you when you’re having chemo.
I hope the answer is so simple and straightforward that you’ll be cheered up again in no time at all. Let me know how you get on. If it makes you feel better I’ve been pestering the nurse about my latest bothers after surgery - although she never lets on, I’m sure she must think “Oh no, here we go again”!
