how do you detect lymphodaema follwing sentinel node biopsy?
I had a sentinel node biopsy performed last year following a mole that was removed on my left elbow which was diagnosed as melanoma measuring at a depth of 3.5mm. The result from the biopsy suggest negative however, after a year, I start to feel a tingling (cordlike)sensation down the arm from armpit to palm which has now culminated in the base of my thumb. I also felt slight pain on this area from time to time and I have now noticed some swellings.
Am i developing lymphodaema?
