Tom,

Good article. When I began my radiation my radiation oncologist told me straight out that due my lymph node involvement and the boosts that my chances of developing lymphedema were increased. Well, I do have lymphedema albiet a mild case. It's a small price to pay for a decrease in recurrence.
