Homework Answers
Answer: Lymphedema is a condition which can occur to the patients who have undergone the breast cancer treatment. In this swelling happens in arms, breast etc. This can develop in patients within a month of surgery or within a year. It is followed by numbness as well as insensitivity to the particular area of swelling.
Lymphedema occurs in a slow process as in the initial stage it is just itching but slowly it becomes visible and swell up. The lymphedema occurs to some people as during the surgery one or the two parts of lymph nodes removed from the under arm or any other portion. If the cancer has been spread to other parts of the body then the surgery confined it to that area and radiation therapy reduces the symptoms.
