Re: Did you have sentinel node or axilla dissection?
Brenda I had an Axilla dissection at the time of my lumpectomy and had three positive, I think at the time it was just my surgeons choice and he preferred to do it that way, I had chemo afterwards so just had to hope I had had a good response. I'm ten years out now so assume I did, but I remember at the time reading that some surgeons choose the axilla over snb and its really just a personal choice but that may have changed over the years.
