    Hey Danny, I'm looking for that information as well. I'm not at that point yet, still have quite a bit to lose, but I'm starting to see some concern. Something I will tell you to ask about BEFORE you have ANY surgery will be the risk of lymphedema. That's something most providers NEVER talk about, but it's a risk, so be sure to ask. I currently have lympedema of my left arm due to complications of chemo a few years ago... so I don't even had an option for surgery on that arm... sucks, but it is what it is. If you get any good info, please pass it along. Thanks!
