Auxiliary Clearance

Hi @stujai - what options have they given you? Are you about to have surgery? My surgeon didn't give me a choice. He told me that during my double mastectomy he would take out my sentinal nodes and send them off to pathology mid-surgery, If even one of them came back as positive for cancer cells, he would do a full axillary clearance as he doesn't like to take any chances. As it turned out, 2/4 sentinal nodes on my left side came back positive and so, as promised, he took all my axillary nodes on that side. The final pathology found that 2/9 axillary nodes taken, were positive for cancer cells. I was very happy with his way of thinking, and his decision.
