Swanky,

I'm curious, in September,2006 when you were first diagnosed what size was the solid IDC? It doesn't sound like Stage 3c.

Sorry to hear of your recurrence. Please excuse my ignorance---can the neck lymph node and spot above your expander be surgically removed? If not, why?

I hope the 'thisbetterf*ckingwork' pills' will work very f___ing well for you

Best well wishes to you,
