Have you ever experienced removal of groin lymph nodes resulting from cancer? When Did the drainage stop etc.?

Any information you can give me would be appreciated. I am 5 days out of surgery and experiencing much drainage. The pressure hose are to small and I am frustrated and panicky that this will never stop. I am so afraid of lymphodema down the road.Have you ever experienced removal of groin lymph nodes resulting from cancer? When Did the drainage stop etc.?
You want the drainage to continue since this will weaken your chances of infection and swelling. 5 days post surgery is not a long time although to you it probably seem like an eternity. Give your body time to make well and it will. If you have more specific concerns consequently either ring up the physician on call or christen your surgeon's office on Tuesday but if you are lone 5 days post surgery your condition sounds pretty normal to me.
biddable luck
