@Afraser. It will be 17 years tomorrow since my mastectomy. At the time, there was no such thing as sentinel node biopsy. So, I had 17 lymph nodes removed.
As you say, it's just the luck of the draw whether you get lymphoedema or not.
I have never had lymphoedema, have a low BMI and have always been healthy.
I now have metastatic breast cancer. I am still very healthy and active.
