Typically, the sentinel nodes are axillary nodes. If you are having the axillary nodes removed, the sentinal nodes will also be removed.
Axillary is defined as of or relating to the armpit, and the lymph nodes therein. Axillary suspension, therefore, usually refers to a stoppage of the flow in those lymph nodes.
the axillary area smells after the lymph nodes have been removed due to presence of sweat glands.

Axillary nodes
Caused for enlargement of axillary lymph nodes: - Infections in the whole-body will often cause the lymph nodes to be enlarged. This is due to perfectly normal immune-responses. - Infections in the glands of the breasts or on the skin of the chest. - Infections in the fingers, hands, and arms. - Breast cancer can spread to the axillary lymph nodes - Although not the most common place to be seen, some lymphomas can arise or spread these lymph nodes.
There are lymph nodes throughout the human body. Lymph nodes range in size from being as small as the head of a pin to the size of an olive. There are groups of lymph nodes which can normally be felt in the groin, underarms, and neck.
