I stopped going to the inguinal area oon the same side beacuse the return made it swell more. Have been focusing on directing it to oppposite axillary and venous angle. Any ideas? Thanks Lynne

Level 3 node involvement may allow for tumor to occlude this region. Of course i don't have a history here to better address but please think...
