Hi Laurie Ann,

Firstly, I feel incredibly sorry for you regarding your diagnosise of breast cancer.
Can I say to you, you must do anything and everything to relieve yourself of the cancer as a 1st priority.
Your psoriasis lessions, in the scheme of things, are such a 'small' problem, that please concentrate on the cancer that may take you from this world, and forget any other consequences regarding any other treatments.
Ultimately you must survive, and any 'treatment' offerded to you should be seriously concidered, including single or double breast removal.
There are far too many women in this world that are lost through breast cancer, that it is becoming a 'future generation' problem, so please do anything possible to avoid this situation, and live your own life to an elderly age, dis-regarding psoriasis or not.
I wish you all the best of health, and I hope your children, and hopefully grand-children, can enjoy your love and wisdom for many years to come.

Any time Laurie Ann.
You just make sure you keep yourself, and your health, as the number 1 priority.
There is no-one on this earth that could possibly gain from your 'early departure', so you just concentrate on keeping yourself as fit and as healthy as you possibly can.
My prayers go out to you.

I have actually been using psoriasin-coal tar product I found at Target. I have also been using T-Gel shampoo as a shower gel and leaving it on for about 5 mins before I rinse. I see improvement on a bit of my spots. i will continue this & let you know how it goes.

@Sharon- I hope you are doing well & are cancer free!
