I had a lt mastectomy 4 weeks ago and 3 sentinel nodes removed.
followed up 2 weeks after by oncology surgeon: was advised that one of the nodes was positive for cancer.
had CT scan which indicated there was evidence it has spread to the other nodes, had ultrasound, biopsy awaiting results, bone scan also waiting report.
in the meantime, referred back to surgeon ( waiting appointment), ? For axillary clearance.
my question is if the outstanding results are negative, can I have radiotherapy instead of another operation?
thank you
