Lymph node visibility in imaging
Hello,
I've been reading these forums for a few weeks and finding them very helpful - thank you to all that share their knowledge.
I'm trying to understand more about lymph nodes and imaging.
...
A little update because I met my breast care nurse today.
She had a sozo BIS machine which was the easiest thing I've had to do so far - stand and hold onto it for 30 seconds and it measured various things to create a baseline to monitor for lymphoedema. Ideally it would have been done before the sentinel node biopsy but at least we've got data before axillary dissection.
She's going to track down information about my breast density and it sounds like MRIs will be an option for future monitoring.
And I've got a few printouts to read about lymphoedema.
