      Hi
      Just joined
      First primary diagnosed just a couple of months ago – wise excision then CT scan – huge relief to be told that the skin margins and the CT results were clear (2wreks ago)
      Last week I found a new pink raised lump with red inflammation around it and I’ve just seen the doc today, and been referred to the dermatologist. So I don’t know if this is/ will be ‘multiple orimaries’, but somehow I expect so
      Your question has helped me realise that this is quite common, I’m not alone and I’m not a freak
      Early days, I know, but I’m feeling a bit scared and also wary of letting this take over my life
      Thanks
