Breast cancer info

Went TTSH with aunt yesterday to see doc..
so tat i can understand more of her condition n can aid in claiming her insurance..
i get to know abit more abt breast cancer info..
Eg, the cancer is in carcinoma-in-situ stage (means not extreme cancerous, but yet need to be removed).
There's option to remove partial breast or full breast removal.
Whether need to do chemotheraphy etc depends on how bad the cancer cell is after the removal sugery... also need to chk whether the lymph node is affected... if yes, then need to remove it.. its situated at our armpit to side breast area..
anyway i must do regular health chk oh..
cos mum thyroid cancer, her sis breast cancer..
Girls.. do take note below.. & pls go buy female illness coverage..
the removal of breast surgery is call mastectomy n our prusmartlady can claim this surgery.

Patient may choose to reconstruct the breast using our own flesh..
