Dermal Injection of Radioactive Colloid Is Superior to Peritumoral Injection for Breast Cancer Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Results of a Multiinstitutional Study

c-erbB-2 oncoprotein overexpression identifies a subgroup of estrogen receptor positive (ER ) breast cancer patients with poor prognosis - c-erbB-2 is another name for her2/neu.

My arm went from being 2% larger than the right arm to being 3% smaller, even though I'm out of the bandages during the day. We expect it to get still smaller.

I called the medical board to ask what was happening with my complaint against my first onc - the investigation has been completed and dictated. It goes to review next. They estimate it will be decided at the August board meeting. Seems like a long time.... it will be just about a year from when we found out the chemo damaged my heart.
