swelling question

[Cathy1]

Hi. Can lymphedema cause chest wall swelling? My scans were NED but I have lymphedema in my left arm. My chest is swollen in between my neck and sternum. I think I remember someone saying that there is something called "chest wall lymphedema." Is there a way to tell if there is fluid in your chest? Thanks and God Bless, Cathy1

Cathy,

I wish I could help you but I just don't know. Maybe some other sister will read this thread and be able to offer advice. It sounds uncomfortable and worrisome. You may want to see your oncologist and see what he/she thinks.
