Hi I have had a lump come up in the side I had lymphnode clearance right in my armpit and I wondered how normal it was or if it’s happened to anyone else? I’ve already been referred to get it checked but I’m worrying. Am I right in thinking it can’t be a swollen node as they removed them all from that side? x
Hi PJB43
A warm welcome to the forum.
Sounds as if you may have a “seroma” - not uncommon after breast and lymph node surgery. Am glad you have an appointment to have it checked. If it is a seroma, some resolve themselves, the fluid gradually becoming reabsorbed by the body. Some require simply draining (aspirating) using a hypodermic needle to draw up and remove the excess fluid. A quick and painless procedure to have done and giving instant relief.
Let us know how you go on at your appointment.
Good luck with it, flower. Delly xXx
