Lymphoedema can develop after breast cancer surgery or radiotherapy treatment. If lymph nodes are removed – usually from the armpit – fluid can build up and cause swelling known as ‘lymphoedema’.
Find out what causes it, ways to reduce your risk of lymphoedema, and what to do if you develop lymphoedema.
