Re: Did you have sentinel node or axilla dissection?

Kathy,
Thanks for your response. Congrats on recent 1 year cancerversery. Hope you celebrate many, many more. When they removed the three nodes at the time of your mastectomy, were they sentinel nodes? I had four nodes removed but they were all sentinel nodes.

Take care,
Brenda
