Of course I wish I were the definitive person to both ask and get the answer from, but I'm not! Dang!
I am sorry you have overdone it~ and I am thinking all things positive for you which means all things negative, if you know what I mean! Let us know, sweetie!

Hey sis Cat!
I wish I could tell you for sure, but of course I'm not a doctor. It could just be scar tissue or fluid build up, or who knows (real helpful, aren't I?). Since you're going to your onco tomorrow I'd probably start there. If he thinks it's a question for your surgeon, maybe you can call together from the doc's office.
Let us know what you find out.
Take care,

Chen & SisC.....for umm...responding! Really-I do appreciate it. I'm going to try some ice I guess and see if that helps. My Onc. is only a few blocks away from my surgeon so I will call in the a.m. & see if I can stop by for him to check it. (wish me luck) I have a feeling my Onc. won't be able to help.
Merry Christmas to you both!

It does sound like some fluid has built up in that area. I wondered if it's hot or inflamed? Red? If it is, you definitely should see your doctor asap, as you could have developed an infection. If it isn't hot or red/inflamed, then it's most likely lymph fluid, and your doctor will help you figure it out for sure.
Good luck!

I don't know Cat. Let us know what your oncologist says. I hope it is something very simple for you. Good luck!
