Re: from ASCO ?practice changing studies regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy vs

My nodes looked clear on scans and exam, but nine were removed and three were positive which even surprised my surgeon who had told me before the op he was certain they were clear!

Re: from ASCO ?practice changing studies regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy vs

Hi, thanks for the reply. I guess I will find out about the nodes on Tuesday. We had a tough time deciding between chemotherapy before surgery or after. Decided on after so that the cancer could be staged at the beginning. Were you offered this option? Also, why did you decide to have an oophorectomy?
