Carol, I forgot to add that they did do a Sentinel Node Biopsy and

found no node involvement. So I guess that means they did remove at

least one node right? I dunno, but they have told me to be very careful

not to bump my arm hard or anything. I have a pretty physical job. But

more than a year into my survivorship (lol), I think I am pretty safe!!

take care........kimmy
