What is doctor supposed to do when sentinel lymph node biopsy fails?

Doctor said the sentinel lymph node biopsy did not work on 1 breast. I had 9 negative nodes removed. All discussions previous to surgery only mentioned testing 1 in each breast for a total of 2 to be removed.

They would have injected you with a nuclear medicine that lights up with the gamma machine that they used to detect it and then they put the dye in at least mine was done that way my dye went in when I was out and he told me only the ones that light up they removed so I only had one and it was negative which is good
