I have never heard of that. My surgeon took 16 nodes out to check them. Have you asked your doctor about this?

I had lumpectomy lady October. Never heard of this either. Had node removed during surgery and tested. Would certainly ask doctor about this. Sorry I couldn't help.

I was told 2-3 weeks after my first treatment; it started on the evening of the 13th day. I didn't lose all of my head hair but what little was left became a nuisance so I had my hairdresser buzz off the rest. The rest of my body hair hasn't disappeared, yet, but some is starting to thin out...

Had bilateral mastectomy yesterday afternoon. 4 right side nodules removed with preliminary negative results. Go home tomorrow and feel pretty good. The monster is out and god guided the surgeons hands. Now wait for pathology report.
