What is this tennis ball sized lump under my armpit after lumpectomy?
Community Member
a month agoHello, I had a double lumpectomy a week ago and lymph nodes removed. Out of nowhere I wakeup today and noticed this tennis size ball under my arm pit, has anyone had this or know what to do to make it better?

a month agoA tennis ball-sized lump appearing suddenly after lymph node removal can understandably be concerning and warrants prompt medical attention from your surgical team. This type of swelling in the surgical area can happen for various reasons post-surgery, and your healthcare providers will be able to properly evaluate what's causing it and recommend the best next steps for your recovery.
