Lymph nodes

mommichelle

Just wondering what a swollen lymph node under the arm would feel like.  Is it hard or soft and squishy?  Would love some advice!

Thanks!

I am sure someone will chime in.. I didn't have any swollen nodes...

But I do have a question about why you will be taking Tamoxifen is you are ER neg??

My IDC was ER- but the DCIS was ER+.....go figure.  They want to try to protect the other breast and any residual cells from the mastectomy.

Wow.. almost sounds like two primary cancers next to each other, right?? I thought if its one cancer, then it has like characteristics... Might be a good question to ask.

My IDC had 2 subset populations.  One was ER PR + Her2 -  and the other was ER+ PR- and Her2+.  They say it is the same cancer.
