Below is information provided by the NHS to better understand breast cancer symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
Lymph node surgery
To find out if the cancer has spread, a procedure called a sentinel lymph node biopsy may be done.
The sentinel lymph nodes are the first lymph nodes that the cancer cells reach if they spread. They're part of the lymph nodes under your arms (axillary lymph nodes).
The position of the sentinel lymph nodes varies, so they're identified using a combination of a radioisotope and a blue dye.
The sentinel lymph nodes are examined in the laboratory to see if there are any cancer cells present. This provides a good indicator of whether the cancer has spread.
If there are cancer cells in the sentinel nodes, you may need further surgery to remove more lymph nodes from under your arm.
For more information click through the the NHS website and if you notice any changes in your breasts or are worried at all please contact your GP.
