I have recently had a lumpectomy. Now I'm waiting to have a mastectomy. It's a worrying time as cancer has been found to be in my lymph nodes as well. Any advice would be welcomed
Hi SANDYDEE53 I'm sorry to hear your situation. I had a lumpectomy but as my sentinel lymph node tested positive, I'm having an axillary clearance next week. Its a worrying time, but I want it all out so it can be tested. How many nodes are affected? I only have 1 but they only took 1, so no idea if there's more yet. Are they taking the axillary nodes out too?
