Re: Sentinel Node Biopsy and Lymphedema Risk

No sauna is a HUGE problem for me! If I haven't had any problems other than the slight falling asleep feeling since my SNB, then I should be fine, right?

If I were to get lymphedema, I would have it by now. My surgeon said that the beauty of SNB is that the risk of lymphedema is a thing of the past.
