Sentinel nodes taken with PBMX?

a question for ladies who had PBMX due to LCIS - did your surgeon take Sentinel node/s? My surgeon isn't planning to during pbmx, but said he will do second surgery to take them if cancer shows up on pathology. Someone told me it's often hard to find Sentinel nodes after PBMX, so axillary nodes are taken, with greater risk of lymphedema. That has me a bit worried. Should I ask my surgeon to take Sentinel nodes just in case?
