Hi everyone,
I had treatment for cervical cancer July 2024 to April 2025 and had a radical hysterectomy with lymph node removal in May 2025.
I have developed lymphoedema in my right leg and pain in my knees. This gets worse at night.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Purple girl
I’m sorry to read this-have you had it diagnosed and been referred to a lymphoedema clinic for advice and help? I didn’t have it myself despite lymphnode removal in my own surgery, but I know one of our ladies in the group has a lot of experience I’m sure she’ll be happy to share with you.
I’ll tag her and hopefully she’ll come along with some advice for you. Her name is Beth2
