Did anybody ever get lymphedema after RT (salvage or primary RT ) ?

I have never heard of it happening when lymph nodes are radiated, but it is a possibility. I’ve usually heard of it happening with a prostatectomy when lymph nodes are also removed. It is rare in those cases.

Thanks Jeff for your input. I agree, even in our big community here it is rare even with RP and I never heard about RT alone causing it 🤷♀️ , so I was flabbergasted.
I have no idea why that info was "thrown in" in the last moment *sigh . I suppose I am not stressed enough without "surprise" curve balls thrown in 🧐 ...
