In reply to: question on breast cancer posted by Laura on 12/8/2002 from 67.83.43.215:

Laura,

Thank you for writing for your mom. If cancer cells are found in the lymph channels or blood vessels, it means that cancer may have traveled to areas beyond the breast.

Was an axillary node dissection performed after the sentinal node biopsy?

Generally, if positive cancer cells are found in either the node or lymph vessels... it would indicate chemotherapy of some sort.

We would be happy to send you or your mom a breast cancer information packet. Just visit the page below and complete the personal profile form and I'll be sure to get it there soon!

Take care,
