Finally had sentinel biopsy done, removed one lymph from left axillary. Feel a bit sore but not to bad.Have to wait four weeks for my results ,really do have fingers crossed that it comes back negative.The only thing that worries me was it was extensively ulcerated,.but my wle was all clear. Maybe that’s a good sign.

Regards

Andrew

Had a call offering a sentinel lymph node biopsy,. Already have had the wle , but couldn’t do slnb due to covid-19. Wle was 3months ago and had set my mind to just see what happens.
Decided to have it done but fear of what happens next as kicked back in, has anyone else had a delayed slnb.
