thanks heavyphil
when did you have the prostatectomy? How long after did you discover the Lymphocyte?
Did they start with minor drainage and then have to put a catheter in?
I appreciate your feedback

@edinmaryland Had the op almost 7 yrs ago. Had no lymphocoele since not a lot were removed - only 2.
Your body produces lymphatic fluid and it usually collects in the nodes - like mini reservoirs; but when many are removed, the fluid drains and collects in a single place and forms a big single one.
I would talk to your surgeon if it doesn’t resolve.
