Dear Susan,

Thank you for replying to my email. She hasnt been diagnosed with lymphadema, it is cellulitis, she is in hospital and is having antibiotics through a drip. The last time she had cellulitis she had it in her right arm but now it has appeared in her right breast, where she had the tumor. I was wondering if it is a worry that it is in the breast. She is on arimadex and has been wearing an arm band protector everyday. She has been so careful but I guess when you have had lymph nodes removed you are prone to this repeating!

Thanks again.

Rachel
