Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy - Reduce your risk of lymphedema

‘Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy’ is helping to decrease the need for axillary (lymph node) surgery in up to 80% of patients with high-risk Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS), and reduce the chances of long-lasting conditions such as lymphedema.

Thank you for sharing this information!!!

This was great to hear, thank you for all this information. I am scheduled for a double mastectomy January (happy I was able to get it pushed out until then, although doc is not too crazy about the delay; however, having said that, they will be doing the magtrace with a couple of lymphs removed at the time to doing a sentinel at conclusion of that surgery if the stat path comes back positive.
Because of this vid, I did write the surgery RN just now and explained my concerns and to postpone that part of the surgery until I have all the information after the surgery, so we'll see how they take my request. I hope they understand my concern about this topic and it won't be an issue or me stepping on anyone's toes. But, I truly appreciate knowing this upfront and I would be okay not doing a sentinel biopsy even if the 1st couple come back positive... I'd rather hit that head on and deal with my decision rather than regretting it later when it could have been avoided.
