Lymphodema, Armpit Recurrence or maybe just fatty flab?
Just checking in: over the past year or so, 6-7 years after my initial diagnosis I have become aware of a growing swelling of flab on the side of my mastectomy that fills my armpit and extends out of my sleeveless dresses. Since I don't get U/S and Mammogrammed on that side, and missed my final 5yr checkup because of Covid 19, I am wondering if it could be a local recurrence or Lymphodema. Has anyone had a recurrence that looked like that and was in that area? Or Lymphodema beginning 6yrs after Sentinel Node surgery (plus an nodeless-first-cube cut out as first shot at removing the sentinel node)

Jessica,
I haven't had complications In that area so can't speak to That. BUT... My many scares and Worries haven't been reoccurrences - thankful for that! I'm wishing this for you as well but please have it checked out to be on safe side. Best wishes - Melissa |
