Had a tiny wart...warning
So, I mentioned this to my onc today and did her eyes pop open. She said if you ever get another one, get it removed immediately. It's a bad one that it responded to chemo.
Just so ya know.

Wow that is very interesting
Wow that is very interesting and scary. I'm glad chemo killed it..I have wondered if chemo for breast cancer would kill other cancers it they were present. Good to know Thank you for sharing that with us.0 -

I guess it was bad thing that chemo killed it, though. Can't wrap my brain around that one. Have to think this through again.

Now I'm a little concerned.
I had two finger warts that I couldn't ever get rid of with the usual over the counter stuff but they went away during chemo. I was happy that chemo seemed to do something "obvious" for me but as soon as the chemo was over, the warts came right back. I was a little depressed when they returned because I felt like they were reminding me that the cancer could also return. I mentioned to the nurse practitioner that my warts had come back but I don't think I ever mentioned it to the onc so I will see what she has to say. Maybe warts on the finger are different from warts on the face? Anyway, I appreciate you sharing this info with us!
Hugs!!!

I wonder
I did not have warts but I do have psorisis and it cleared up during my chemo. I believe that both warts and psorisis have some connectionto the immune system. I wonder if it has something to do with the jump start to the immune system from the Nulasta shot rather than the chemo...just a thought.
Unfortunately, the psorisis is coming back, only seconds after the chin wiskers...how is that right?0 -

I had a bunch of finger warts. This is how I got rid of them. Put over the counter stuff on them and cover with a strip (narrow) of duct tape every day. Never left them uncovered. Looks silly, but I believe warts need oxygen and this starved them. They were gone in about 2 weeks. Of course this was before there tons of colors of duct tape. I only had the silver.
That was 3 years ago. They never came back.
