How nice, Amcal. Thank you! I think I finally found it, just by reading about chemo instead of searching on the "one lymph node" phrase: "Chemotherapy is almost always recommended if the lymph nodes are involved,...

Hello, My mom was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer a few weeks ago. The tumor was tiny, so doc recommended lumpectomy and radiation (mom didn't want chemo because she lives alone). So she had the lumpectomy last week. AOK,...

I wouldn't worry either. All kids are different. My 27 mo is drawing the classic stick figure with arms coming out of the head, the long legs, and faces. But my dd1, who is 7, didn't do that until 3 1/2 or 4 -- and now she's a 24-hour...
