How do people know nodes are clear straight after surgery :)
Hi to all :)
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.
Thanks for any feedback..xxx
