Re: Lymph node question
The lump turned out to be nothing they could see on the ultrasound. I guess I just have lumpy elbow pits?!
I had mild lymphedema after the surgeries, but that was taken care of by a certified lymp. therapist.
Regarding sweating, since the radiation also covered my underarm, I never sweat there anymore. Only have to use 1/2 the deodorant.
