Did you have any tenderness in lymph nodes?
I had radiation to my left breast which included the axilla lymph nodes. I finished radiation in March and I had my exchange surgery a few weeks ago. Drains were placed for the exchange surgery. I had the drains in for two weeks.
I've noticed that my nodes on the left side are tender pretty close to where the drains were. I'm concerned because the way I discovered my cancer in the first place was a lump in my node (which was painful). I went to the Dr. a couple of days ago and she told me that what I was feeling was just damage from the radiation. Has any body else had this same type of side effect?
