You are very fortunate to have met with Breast care nurse. I did have an early SOZO test. But it was done only as a baseline. I had it done post op Mastectomy but prior to discharge. I attend a lymphomas and physio clinic for laser and have my SOZO checked and arm measured. I find it reasuring, and if there are changes would deal with that then. The laser is supposed to speed healing.
The SOZO test is nothing worse than standing on something like a set of scales and your hands go on a ledge. You stand still like that for about 30seconds. They input information re weight and height DOB. You feel nothing.
Ask while at hospital if they can measure you, they may not offer.
I didn't have a dye test. Because I had already had a positive for cancer lymph glands biopsy prior to surgery. Seen on US.
