Post surgery question
Hi everyone! I had my lumpectomy and ancillary node dissection 2 weeks ago. I still have quite a bit of swelling under my arm and it is really hard around the edges. It is almost like I have a bar of soap under the skin! Is that normal for this type of surgery? Otherwise, it is fine - not red or infected or anything like that. I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!
Beth
