That’s correct, my question to the surgeon, was how many, and where?

The oncologic surgeon showed them to me, as did also the radiation oncologist. I had two different tumors on each side of the same breast so there may have been 5-6....it's been almost 5 years now so I cannot remember but you should be able to ask your oncologist OR, if they won't tell you, requesting a copy of your surgical report will provide the info. I used to work in Release of Information - the "long" surgical reports contain more detailed information -- don't settle for the short report as it's a basic simple summary.
