Wow, my Dr sent me for a mammogram which sort of evolved into an ultrasound which turned in to a fine needle biopsy on the same day! They weren't letting me out of there until they had a diagnosis sorted. Within a week the Dr had the pathology and the tests results. What no one foresaw was I had node involvement as well. During a proper biopsy a few weeks later even that Dr assured me the sentinel node looked good in the ultrasound and they wouldn't need a biopsy of that. After surgery and a single mastectomy during which they only took a single node out, it came back positive. That mean't I had to have another surgery to remove all my nodes which were all negative. I can't help thinking if the surgeon had been a tiny bit more adventurous and taken a few nodes in the first place, the results would have been positive for one, negative for 3 or 4 others and I wouldn't have needed that second operation and I may not have developed lymphodema.
