Hi

  I'm from India. 2 years back my sister affected by the skin cancer. we diagnose the disease immediately. We started the treatment with CHOP. After 6 cycles again it's come back. Again we tried DHOP, ICE and MCOPB. After all the treatment again it's come back. Doctor suggested to go for BMT (Autologous bonemaro transplantation). We got confused why the disease is come back...?. We are worrying about her life. If any one knows about this please let me know...

It sounds like you should get some other opinions from top oncologists who deal with skin cancers.  I'd check at an established University hospital for an expert - and be willing to travel for a second opinion.

Actinic Keratosis is a precancerous skin condition that develops when the skin is exposed to sun.
