Lymph node confusion

I just realized how unclear I've been in my last couple of posts. To clarify: lymph nodes were removed on the day of surgery, but only the so-called "sentinel" node/s. This is the first node (sometimes there is more than one) in which cancer cells would turn up if they were spreading beyond the duct/tumor. The quick, initial biopsy which was performed the day of surgery revealed no cancer in the sentinel node/s; Kaiser's accuracy rate on this test is 80%. The sentinel node is then sent for further study, along with the tumor and margin which were removed. So the final pathology report which I am still waiting on will reveal whether or not there is lymph involvement, as well as the exact tumor size, and whether the margin which was removed from around the tumor was clear. All of this will inform the doctors concerning the stage of the cancer and how to proceed with treatment. As for me, I'm feeling hopelessly healthy, to quote my anesthesiologist. :D
