From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Good news for menopausal women at high risk for breast cancer: taking Aromasin appears to prevent the development of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. And that's not all it does - there's more good news!

Aromasin May Prevent Breast Cancer And Recurrence
Aromasin (exemestane) may prevent new cases of breast cancer as well as recurrence in post-menopausal women. It's also going to be available as a lower-cost generic drug. Will this reduce the annual number of breast cancer diagnoses? I sure hope so!

Where Will Your Surgical Drains be?

What Is a Bone Marrow Transplant?
My sister is having a bone marrow transplant next week. She will get a central venous catheter, in addition to her implanted port. Ports and catheters are some of the ways that chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and other fluids are given.
