I am a 55 year old female. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 1999. I had a lumpectomy and removal of lymph nodes. in January of 2000. Since then I have had chemo and radiation. Then in October I had reaccurance of cancer in my breast. In December I had a mastectomy and now I have it in the lymph nodes in my chest wall and under my left arm. Needless to say I am on chemo again to shrink the nodes. The one under my arm is shrinking and I am in hopes that this means the ones in my chest wall are doing the same.

    I do not have breast cancer, so don't think I can help you there...but..I am in hopes that the lymp nodes continue to shrink and put you into a complete recovery! Good luck, stay strong and hang in there! Marcy
