A member asked:
Recently had axillary dissection to remove melanoma in left lymph nodes. however, now left breast is swollen. what can i do to relieve the swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melanoma/axill disse: Best to see your surgeon TODAY. The lymphatic drainage from the breast is through the axillary noses, so swelling, cellulitis could be related to the decreased drainage pathways..
