        Agree. I won't get the no chip/gel manicures again. The UV lights are a huge concern, but also when the polish is removed, chemical infused cotton balls sit on your fingers for 10 minutes to break down the polish. Anything applied topically is also absorbed systemically…not good all around.

          MmP15 thanks for mentioning these tests, I haven't heard of them unitl now. I'm a new IA and after a wide excision, my surgeon and oncologist have said I'm cured, nothing else needed including node bx. It's good to know of other options for more information. Thank you!

            Great to know. I'm taking it easy and will continue to be very careful with activity for awhile! Thank you for your input!
