Hi 
I had a mastectomy and total node clearance in early Dec 18, how long does it take for the node area not to be swollen anymore, i feel like i have a side boob lol. 
Thanks Trikki2

    Get it checked, it could be a fluid build up called seroma, particularly if it's more than just a bit puffy. Even if it is fluid, it might be a wait and see situation but it pays to know.

    Yes,get it checked as it may be a seroma that needs draining.It would make it more comfortable if that’s the case.

    Hope you can get it sorted soon, @Trikki2 - I had a small one that self absorbed so was lucky.  It was more painful than a specific lump.

    All the best xxx
