Just a little more information. LADIES GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS. I had stopped having mammograms for a year because I was overwhelmed with other medical issues. A friend had her mammogram and came up with stage 3 breast cancer. So I said "okay, I'll go one more time". Stage one breast cancer was found. It was caused by my immunosuppressant drugs. My oncologist said it should have gone to my lymph glands but, murphy's law that I am it went to my breast. I had to have both breasts removed because it would come back. Doctor says once tissue is removed there is no more tissue to come back to. I now take Arimidex. Side effects are hot flashes and joint pain in my wrists, fingers, hips, and knees. By the way my friend has been cancer free for 3 years. YEAH.
