a. swollen glands.
b. anemia.
c. lymphedema.
d. lymphoma.

Answer 1

C. Lymphedema

Step-by-step explanation:

This happens due to a buildup of fluid in the soft tissues and occurs in areas of the body where lymph nodes have been removed. Lymphedema is one of the most common side effects of a lymphadenectomy. The treatment focuses in reducing the swelling, relieving pain and preventing infections. Some of these treatments include massage therapy, and compression garnets.
