8months ago I had a right lower lobectomy . I am feeling swollen under my right breast. Only able to wear a bra once in a while. Wondering if anyone has had the swelling and how long this will last. I am doing very well and very thankful it was caught soon.

Hello @jerri0, I've seen many members report discomfort in the bra area post-surgery, but as I understand it that's more commonly nerve pain or numbness. Have you found this discussion: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sudden-numbness-2-months-post-vats/
Does the area appear swollen? Has your doctor had any suggestions or hope?
