Lumpectomy yesterday

hi all

I’ve just joined this rollercoaster  with ILC I had lumpectomy yesterday and sentinel node biopsy.  I thought they would not remove any nodes (just biopsy the area )but after said took three this upset me as I was thinking the dye they had given me beforehand was after highlighting something suspicious   They said it’s routine to take some nodes to make sure no spread but I’m still a bit unsure. Previous to this they said no lymph node involvement so I suppose I was more upset when I heard they took three for investigation.  Not a lot I can do now but wait but does this make more likely its in nodes ?

    thanks for your reply this adds up to what they said but my suspicious mind was questioning     I feel better after reading this as you are similar to me mine is positive for oestrogen and her 2 negative and they said I may only need radiotherapy  are you getting chemo 

    hope u don’t mind me asking
