Breast cancer is in Stage III C if the cancer cells have already spread to the lymph nodes in the collarbone and neck area, under the arms and inside the breast. Stage III C mat be operable or inoperable. It is operable when the cancer is present in 10 or more lymph nodes in the arm area, or if the cancer has spread in the beneath neck and collarbone area, it is within the same side as the breast (left or right side), or the cancer is found within the breast and under the arm only. But if the cancer has spread above the neck and collarbone area on the same side as the breast with cancer, it is already inoperable.
