History -
Diagnosed with malignant melanoma (on my lower back)earlier this year, had it removed; they then did a wider excision on my back; then a lymph-node biopsy and a lym[ph node removal.

Been 8 weeks since the removal of the lymph nodes, but my lower leg has suddely become very itchy (it is still swollen as well) . is there anything i can do to relieve the swelling and the itchiness?

Thanks

As misery loves company, I was intereste to hear that you have had similar symptoms to mine after lymph node in groin was removed because of a malignant melanoma on back of calf. I have had swelling of ankle and foot ever since (3 months ago) though I was told that swelling was not something to worry about with removal of only one node.....IF you hear of any treatment or remedies, please let me know.
Best of luck to you.
