Seven and a half weeks ago I had a bilateral mastectomy with a flat closure and sentinal lymph node biospies.
I have developed some mild lymphedema in my upper arms, chest and arm pits and go to an occupational therapist twice a week for a lymphatic massage. I also have a pump with a vest. It just gets worse as the weeks go on. I started therapy 3 weeks ago. We havent successfully found any compression that fits, but are working on it.
Recently my chemo port iches a little more than usual and the ugly vein that sticks out of my neck is sticking out more. Could lymphatic fluid that doesnt know quite where to drain yet cause this?
