Stages of Breast Cancer Revisted

Defining the Stages of Breast Cancer

To plan a woman's treatment, the doctor needs to know the extent or stage of the disease.

The stage is based on the size of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread from the breast.
Determining the stage of the disease may involve x-rays and lab tests to learn whether the cancer has spread and, if so, to what parts of the body.
When breast cancer spreads, cancer cells are often found in lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes).

"Click it Donates it"

I know you are busy but....

It only takes a minute....


Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
