No, a sentinel node biopsy was never mentioned or offered.

You might then ask how he knows it isn’t in the lymph node. They might be able to tell from a scan or something.

I had lumpectomy at 80. Easy..home same day. Turns out there was cancer in sentinal node so don't wait too lon, which I did. And now at 86 just had dissection as spread to 4 nodes. This surgery not so easy. My brain/ cognitive are fine!! but now face more.
