I'm happy to hear you've had your surgery and are into recovery. I ended up with blood clots after my surgery, so you are wise to get any leg swelling checked out.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Welcome to the other side.

Glad to hear things went well.

most likely lymphedema.

Hang in there it gets better each day,

Well after the CT it was identified that I had a lymphocele. Had a drain inserted and swelling has drastically reduced in my leg. Hopefully all up hill from here. Thanks for all the support and guidance through what certainly has been the most difficult time in my life with my own health.

Do you know how many lymph nodes were excised? My urologist took out 44 nodes and a few months later I developed bilateral lymphodema in my legs so don't be surprised if that shows up later.

The surgeon removed 12 lymph nodes.
