Tell her to NOT, repeat....NOT take out any more lymph nodes than
necessary. The purpose of taking out the lymph nodes is to determine
whether chemo and radiation are needed or not (as perceived by
conventional treatment). She can have many problems with the lymph nodes
gone. Her arm will never be the same. She can email me if she wants to.
