Well, I'm pretty sure this is cancer, not pre-cancer, though I haven't actually talked to the person in question. It's my aunt, my mother's sister, and she had a lumpectomy for a previous cancer about 15 years ago (when she had a small infant from an unplanned mid-forties pregnancy). My mom didn't say anything about lymph nodes being involved. I'm just trying to gauge how worried I should be--she's my favorite aunt.
