I am sorry to hear. I know the devastation of cancer. I just wanted to post that since they are removing so many lymph nodes, it would put her at risk for Lymphedema. Make sure the doctors tell her what precautions she needs to take. www.lymphnet.org is a website for more info. I hope and...

Hi Susan, I do not post here anymore, but visit every once in awhile and wanted to say hi to you. I went from this board to another one. I lack motivation and my body tires easily. My body and mind still recovering from the Hell it has been thru this past year. I need to eat better too. I...

RE: Inflammatory Breast Cancer - Important Info (graphi... MAMMOGRAMS ARE NOT FOR WOMEN UNDER 40. IF YOU FIND A LUMP, TRY AN ULTRASOUND FIRST. SOME LUMPS CAN BE NEAR THE CHEST WALL AND CANNOT BE FELT.
