Hi @Mandyjo
Sorry you are here but glad your surgery went well. It's all step by step with bc. It would be great if we could have the whole picture for treatment when diagnosed but as you know breast cancer is complex and with new information comes a review of treatment.
It does seem a bit unusual to have a sentinel node clear but another not but the team you have are on to it which is good.
I had a lumpectomy and 2 nodes out which were clear but I had chemo to mop up any runaway cells and radium. Hearing your story i am glad I had the chemo now ad my breast cancer although early bc was very aggressive.
Good luck on the next steps. Chemo sounds scary but we seem to get through it. If you do have it there are plenty of posts on here for tips to get through
Best wishes 💐
