How do I know the surgeon took enough lymph nodes during my surgery?

Hi traci999, I also have some small lumps popping up in the fatty tissue of my skin in the area of my radiation treatment. On my back and under my arm near the axilla. I asked the oncologists what it is, is it scar tissue and he says yes but his tone is hesitant, so I don’t feel reassured. It does itch quite a bit??? Any thoughts ???

TBH I really don't know but one thing I do know is if I feel like something isn't right I won't stop until I get an answer. I never received any lumps after radiation. If I were you I would definitely get a second opinion. Maybe see your PCP or OBGYN. One of my lumps I'm concerned about is near the axilla. I am going to ask for an MRI or biopsy. I want to know for sure.
I did have both my underarms break out and I was told it was a fungal infection and it itched but yours does not sound like that. I would get any lumps checked out. Please keep me posted and I wish you the best. My email is tracimoore1@yahoo.com if you'd like to email me any further.
