This is only new in the last ten years. Almost all women who have axillary lymph-nodes with cancer will receive some form of chemotherapy unless they are particularly sick or elderly. I had a tubercle adenoma removed. It is a benign non-malignant growth of the breast tissue and requires no additional treatment. No, I caught my breast cancer relatively early.
Question Is there much correlation in the risk factor between breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
I have a cousin with breast cancer and a sister with ovarian. The newest studies have shown that there is a small correlation within first degree relatives to develop either breast or ovarian cancers with a family history. All this means is that you should have annual mammograms and an annual visit to the gynecologist for pelvic exams. When I went in for surgery I had to sign a form that said that if they found more cancer than they thought was there that I would allow them to take the breast. So, I went into surgery with a sense of diving into the unknown in a very big way, and it was terrifying.
