Thanks for responding. You are correct: no lymph nodes removed. However radiation, which I had , is known to sometimes cause damage to lymph nodes. Good idea to check with the plastic surgeon and my primary as well. Thanks again for answering.

@catbuddy That makes sense. I had radiation therapy (pelvic) for endometrial cancer and my radiation oncologist told me I could develop lymphedema. Thankfully, I did not. Still checking with the plastic surgeon and your primary care provider is great.
