Hi Keet

I was wondering a couple of things.

I too just had a lumpectomy and had a clump of nodes removed as apparently the dye didn't work as well as it should of and didn't pinpoint main node, so guessing that's why they took a clump.

My question was how do you know the grading straight after surgery and that the nodes are clear. I was told I have to wait around 10 days till my follow up appointment. And also have not been told the grading of the tumour either. All I have is the initial biopsy information that I have a invasive ductal carcinoma. 

I have read a few people have said they knew the nodes were clear. So ? would love some feedback how they got this information back to them soon after surgery etc.

Great news your end by the sounds of it. Keeping you in my prayers.x

Thanks...will also post this a another post on main page. Thanks Keet for any feedback..xxx
