What Will Happen To My Lymph Nodes, My Armpit, and My Arm?

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - January 10, 2018 - Breast Cancer Surgery

Jennifer had had some time to digest the breast cancer diagnosis she never wanted to hear but also wasn’t 100% surprised by when it was delivered. Her family had a history of breast cancer, and a favorite aunt of hers had a terrible time recovering from surgery and treatment many years ago. She told us that for months post surgery and treatment, her aunt was barely able to use her arm due to symptoms like pain, heavy swelling, or numbness.

Margulies mammogram imageJosephine was elated. She had just survived breast cancer and was looking forward to a life full of laughter and joy with her husband, children and friends. But there was one problem. Josephine hated her arm. She had her the lymph nodes under her arm removed because of breast cancer. There was some cancer in her lymph nodes, so she had all of her lymph nodes removed.

Lymphedema can be a problem worse than a cold rain in spring. Lymphedema is swelling of the arm that can occur after breast cancer surgery and is akin to your kitchen sink sponge soaked with water.

I would like to end our talk with a story of angels, of faith and of love. It is my story. It begins with the love of my wife; it ends with her love and the strength, the support, and the life giving energy that she is to me.

My story begins with a spot – a spot on my shoulder. Each day I would look at this spot and then one day, it changed. I recall my wife telling me to wear sunblock on numerous occasions, but I am a doctor, so I could never get cancer.

Do I need surgery?

Live to See Cancer Cured

Yes.

The best chance to cure breast cancer is surgery. In a world with great advances in science and great progress in medicine, surgery remains the most effective treatment for breast cancer. When breast cancer remains in the breast, surgery can be curative. When breast cancer leaves the breast, surgery remains as the best means to rid the body of the breast cancer nest. Other, or adjuvant, therapies are then used to seek out and destroy those breast cancer cells that flew from the nest.

You are a very wonderful doctor, very kind and sweet. I want to thank you for praying for me before I had my surgery. You don’t find many doctors like you that believe in prayer, I believe in prayer. May God bless you.
