Matt has a large looking sore on his finger, cannot recall injuring it. Looks almost like an infected splinter without the splinter... no pus though, just red.

Never heard of this going to an extremity.

That's wonderful to hear, as your knowledge regarding such is far more than mine.
Thanks.

I'm not a doctor, but in 12 years of talking with patients, attending cancer conferences where cases are presented, and monitoring these forums, I have never seen it. I caution that there are no absolutes in cancer.... so make sure that your doctors are aware of the situation. I hope that this turns out to be nothing serious.
