- Doctor Harjit said, using lymphoscintigraphy instead of blue dyed liquid solution for the sentinel node detection.
- Took out sentinel lymph node for lab test, removed tumor and intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT).
- Overall, didn't see any drainage bag near underarm, so assuming lymph nodes are safe. Hence, not expect for further external radiotherapy and also chemotherapy. But tamoxifen for few years for sure.
