I tried to research this, but found not much...Penny has been experiencing some swelling in her recovery- mainly in her shoulder. As most of you know she did not have any surgery - so don't know what this could be caused from. The Dr's are not too concerned say it is all part of it- hmmm just wondering if anyone else had swelling such as this.
Thanks-
Sarah

Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 446 | Sarah I have had swelling off and on in my face, neck and shoulder, however I had surgery. My swelling is lymphedema from the neck disection.
I don't know whether radiotherapy and chemo would compromise her lymphatic system severely enough to cause swelling, but if your Doctors aren't concerned, I wouldn't be
