significance of an enlarged one might mean?  Is there a way to biopsy it or can
it be removed?  Where exactly is it?  If malignant what symptoms might there

My radiation stopped two years ago.  Does anyone here know why I still need

At a recent bc support meeting, a member mentioned that her doctor told
her she could not have Soy products due to the type of cancer she has.
At that time, I had no idea I was ER+ and Soy is supposed to be a no-no
for us so I did not ask her more about it.  My own doctor has not ...
