Best doc to follow up on lymphedema?

Please ask your oncologist to schedule a breast ultrasound fir that breast & underarm area since you may have developed a seroma which is a collection of fluid that can be removed via needle drainage if particularly bothersome. I developed a seroma 18 months after my lumpectomy & it is rather small so we're just watching it. I also have persistent breast lymphedema most likely from my radiation treatment. Lymphatic massage did nothing & I am living with it. Just joyful to go on with my life.

Thanks for these suggestions. Very helpful, and interesting to know that the massage didn’t help you either.

Thank you for sharing and being so positive!
