I had 14 lymph nodes removed with 6 positive for cancer back in 1997. Although I did, as expected, go on to Stage IV in 1999, to this day, I have never had one bit of lymphedema...does this concur with what the study is trying to say??? and have other folks on this site noticed this correlation?

Every one always says it, but your posts are great!!1

Take care,
Gina
