Good Evening All,

I had a lumpectomy ,chemo, and radiation. I also had axillary nodes removed (7). ,I am now diagnosed with lymphedema. My question is, Has anyone had any mammograms or scans scans since your diagnosis of lymphedema? Did the results show suspicious findings because of lymphedema

Thank you

    AB - Here's a definitive site about LE. It even has information to share with your doctor.

    I had a mastectomy, so I only have ultrasounds & MRIs. But LE does not show on any of my scans since 2011
