Robin...
curious...how many nodes did you have removed? I only had 6 and didn't think I would have a problem w/ lymphodema and ironically enough the end of Feb when Tony and I flew down to Disney, my arm got tight and achy and NOW since then, I have been experiencing lymphodema (I'm quite sure it is as I have all the signs and when I lay on the affected side, the pressure helps it). Take care and God bless.
