Kaye...
Thank you for responding. She is ER+ and today they were going back in to take out lymph nodes. Apparently the "tumor" is at least 12 cm and wraps around her right side. She sees the oncologist for the first time 10/6. Still don't know if it got to any of her organs. What exactly was your dx and how have you been (I'd like to share with her if you don't mind...she is the divorced mom of 4 children 6-18yo and is frustrated that she was put off by her general practioner when she said she hasn't felt well for a year. Take care and God bless.
Rhonda
