Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Jackie, Please go get your mammo. If you take a couple of Tylenol or Advil right before that might help. Early detection definitely is the key. My lump was 2.5cm. I had one bad lymph node out of twenty three that was cancerous. I was 44 at the time. I had 6mo of chemo, no radiation or reconstruction. The only thing I regret is not having them both taken at the same time.
