Hello Everyone. Quick question for post chemo folks out there. I finished my last cycle 9/2005 and fortunately, have faired quite well with neuropathy going way, limited ringing in the ears, good follow up results etc. Recently, I just noticed a fairly large "bald spot" on my left leg - smooth as a baby's behind - which spans from left ankle to mid shin. It is probably not a big deal and there have been far more important topics to discuss, but I couldn't help ask if this is common, etc. Comments welcome.... All the best!
