Congrats, glad to hear your surgery went well ❤️

Correction: seed does NOT show SLN. It shows exact location of cancer. I had non-mass so helpful.

Surgery went well. Radiologists showed me images of lymph nodes, clear. Also clear on MRI.

Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks for good info. Lumpectomy is tomorrow. She is inserting a radioactive seed before surgery so that will trace SLN. So, SLN are routinely checked for cancer cells to see if it has spread? I just asked about lymph nodes. Told usually in younger patients. I'm 81 so she didn't expect to remove any lymph nodes. I will ask before surgery.
