Hi,
Hoping someone can advise me....my mom has been diagnosed with BC for the 3rd time. Both previous times were small tumors, followed by treatment. This time the tumor is 0.7cm, but deep under her arm, apparently very tricky to operate on, because it is almost in a "nest" of blood vessels, nerves, etc. She is on Fermera now to see if they can shrink it, and possibly do radiation, "if" they didnt go that high when they radiated her breast last time, if so, she cannot have more radiation. Has anyone had any sort of experience? The tumor is so small and easy to remove anywhere else, except it is in such a bad place? Hoping to hear from someone who has had success removing a tumor from this area?
thanks, Caroline
