Re: Sentinel node biopsy results
Kris' Mum,
Well, I think we'll take that. Could be a tad better with no nodes, yes, but all in all pretty darn good. I think you are right in feeling grateful. I would prepare yourselves to hear, in light of the "extensive" DCIS, that the docs will recommend a mastectomy. These guys create some amazing "boob replicas" that really are quite acceptable.
On the whole, I think things are looking up!
