Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm just curious what treatment methods you would use for a patient who had breast cancer and had a majority of her lymph nodes removed. After chemo and surgery, there are no signs of the cancer left. But due to the removal of the lymph nodes, the patient is experience swelling of the arm on the side where she had the surgery. Thanks.
