A small area of rash was biopsied and it came back more breast cancer. Rash is spreading around torso now. Chemo and radiation isn’t an option anymore. Have an appt w surgeon in a few weeks. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen so soon after mastectomy?

Hi @pavo5 -- I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all of this. Keep pressing your oncology team for answers and a rapid treatment plan. If chemo and radiation are not an option anymore then maybe one of the targeted therapy drugs taken as a pill to keep it from spreading further? Waiting a few weeks to speak to your surgeon is a long time when you notice it spreading. What did your oncologist say the plan is? If your oncology team doesn't have a treatment plan, it may be time for a prompt second opinion. Even if they do have a plan you may want to get a second opinion ASAP. I don't have triple negative type, but I take Kisqali (tablet) that is designed to keep cancer cells from reproducing. There are other similar drugs and one may be applicable for your particular breast cancer type. Be your own advocate, the squeaky wheel, so they don't delay. You asked about a clinical trial drug. Did your oncologist mention one? Are you being treated at a cancer center or have one nearby? Hugs, hugs, hugs for you.

I’m so sorry to learn this! Lots of hugs and love sent to you. May God protects you and bless you! My rash after I removed surgical tape and while I was still in the middle of chemo was also very bad and developed to wherever I touched. My surgeon doesn’t know what caused it. My Oncologist said it’s definitely not breast cancer. So I went to dermatologist office and cured it by topical steroid and antibiotics. I’ll be thinking about you and pray for you.
