Thanks Atat, good to know it's not just me! X

Yes, I have. It's fairly common after SNB. I only had 3 nodes removed.

Mild lymphoedema one yr after biopsy and surgery

I just wondered if anyone else has suffered from a mild lymphoedema even though they haven't had a mx. I had chemo and wle in 2014 and i now have a swelling in the breast and a little bit underneath as well as a slight swelling on the upper arm. Onc says it is slight lymphoedema which is unusual with slnb. Obvs I am worried that it could be a recurrence? Has anyone else had this sort of thing after slnb and lumpectomy rather than mx and axilla clearance?
