Hi suzanne I had WLE and SNB on the 5th December and got my results on the 18th December which were clear.I see oncologist on Tuesday as was told I would be having radiotherapy.I have a leaflet that my BCN gave me. It says that during diagnosis the radiologist checks the armpit with the ultrasound scan. If there is no sign of a problem in the armpit glands , sentinal node biopsy is beneficial.If it shows that it has spread to the armpit they would do a biopsy there and then and if it confirms it a SNB is not helpful as all glands need to be removed.So please try and stay positive.You will get plenty of support and advice here on the forum. Sorry to waffle on I dont know if you have one of the leaflets regarding SNB. But try not to worry about it (easier said than done.) I got my self worked up about it and then after it being done wondered why. Take one day at a time. Love and Best wishes Kath xx
