A mastectomy is the surgical removal of a breast. In a 'radical' mastectomy, the lymph nodes (or glands) in the nearby armpit are also removed as this is where cancer can sometimes spread to..... this causes a disruption of the flow of 'lymph' in the arm causing a back up and the arm swells. Lymph is the remainder of the fluid that has filtered out of the blood to bathe the cells of the arm and usually travels back up the lymphatic system, through the lymph nodes, to mix back into the blood stream near the base of the neck.
the arm swells after a mastectomy due to a lost of a body part(imbalance) if the doctor removed lymph nodes(helps remove/drain fluid)the fluid imbalance will occur. 2.) Also remember to never have blood drawn from the same side as a mastectomy. The placement of a tourniquet will increase swelling and cause more damage to any remaining lymphnodes.
The arm on the affected side often swells after radical mastectomy because of the surgical removal of the axillary lymph nodes. This removal interferes with lymphatic drainage from the arm on that side.
because of the inflammatory reaction

You need to make sure you don't touch the affected area, and wash your hands with hot water and soap if you do touch it. If the affected area swells up, a shot of corticosteroids will bring the swelling down. Using Caladryl lotion will help with the itching.

The stage where a star swells into a red giant is called the red giant phase, typically occurring when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and starts to fuse helium in its shell. During this phase, the star expands and cools, turning redder in color due to its lower surface temperature.
