Lung abalation, chest tube, now swollen lymph nodes question?

Postby behconsult » Sun May 28, 2017 10:38 am

Anyone have any experience or knowledge they can share? I have three lung mets removed via cryo-ablation. I had a chest tube insert for the collapsed lung. I was discharged last Sunday after four days in the hospital. My lymph nodes are swollen in my arm pit regions and are good size and painful. No temperature, redness, or signs of infection. Does anyone know how long the enlargement of lymph nodes is? Pain pills are of minimal benefit. Thanks for any pearls you can share. B

I can not help with lung abalation, butt for pain have you tried Motrin (Ibuprofen)? For me, when you reduce the swelling, you reduce the pain. Hope you are feeling better soon.
