How To Get Rid Of Swollen Lymph Node In Groin?
I had two lymph nodes removed from my right groin1 1/2 weeks ago along with tissue on my right thigh. The excision on my right thigh was done after a smaller excision a week before which was found to be malignant. The doctor said it was necessary to do a deep excission and remove the lymph nodes to see if it matasticized, since it was a Clark's level 5. All the results from this last surgery came back cancer free. Thankfully!!
However, I now have swelling in the groin area, at the site of the removal of the lymph nodes. Does this mean I have lymphodema beginning?

hi dear,
from your question it is not clear which type of cancer you have. its good that there was a negative report in lymph nodes.
the swelling in groin area may be lymphoedema or another enlarged lymph node. you should meet a surgeon or should undergo sonography of groin area for diagnosis of cause of swelling.
