Hi Lozred and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I can totally understand why you're feeling angry after discovering that your sentinel lymph node biopsy showed cancer cells were present but that possible follow up treatment was overlooked.
Do come back and let us know the results of your PET and MRI scans, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for good results.
