Enlarged Lymph nodes

Interested to see if anyone has a similar thing after revision surgery. I have had two surgeries recently, one in March to reduce to non cancer side & revision on BC side; then another in June to repair some non healing on the BC side !! The second surgery was actually a Lat Dorsi reconstruction (repair work at this stage) because of an open wound. Sadly this is still the case six weeks after the surgery. I have two bits that aren't healed, one in the inframammary fold on the lower edge of the flap & the larger one (about 5cm) on the upper edge of the flap. On radiated skin !  I had a bit of a reaction to being on antibiotics for 3 weeks; oral thrush, rash all over, & diarrhea. Today I went for my check up with my oncologist & she is concentrating too hard on my BC side armpit. I had already noticed I had some lumpiness since the surgery. I thought it was because they cut under the armpit during the operation, & the binder being so tight gave me some wounds under the arm as well. These have all healed quite well now & I thought the lumpiness was subsiding. She asks about a particularly large node..... how long etc. I said it was very lumpy under there since the surgery with the cut & other wounds but it is settling down. So she made me promise to get it looked at if possible before I go on a very long trip next thursday ......or at the very least when I return. Fine will do that...... surgeon is on holidays at the moment & only one more clinic before I go so will talk to the secretary & see if she will squeeze me in.

Onc was ok with the fact that I was heading to the outback for about 3 months & the possibility that I wasn't going to get into surgeon before I go. Seriously...... if she really thought it was something nasty she would have been a little more insistent.......surely ???

Have any of you had nodes come up after a surgery, if so, did they disappear again.....or not.
