    I'll be having my dbl mastectomy in a few days. I've noticed my lymph node in my armpit on one side is swelling. Does this mean there is cancer in the node or is this just a side effect of the cancer? I'm kind of freaking here. Did anyone have swelling and no cancerous nodes? Thanks

    Deamo - no I didn’t have swelling but from what I understand it’s usually due to an infection of some kind. I’m not a doctor so if I were you I would ask my doctor. Best of luck

    Hope you're doing well Deamo. Any news on the results of your lymph node? Sincerely hope your recovering well from your double mastectomy. Stay strong.

    Yes all good news, thank you. Clear margins, negative lymph nodes and my MammaPrint test came back LOW so no chemo or radiation. I am more than thrilled.
