Do you have positive sentinel nodes? Everyone who does axillary node dissection should do LVA surgery (Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery): connecting the lymphatic vessels to nearby veins , allowing the lymph to drain into the veins and circulate back into the rest of the body. With this microsurgery procedure, the chance of developing lymphedema is greatly reduced.

@resort I think I provided too much detail since the answers to your questions weren't clear. I never did chemo. My Oncotype showed no benefit. I did letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor.

My sentinel nodes were negative. My LVI was focal and in the lymph vessels.
