Be certain it is from the radio therapy. There are other causes of lymphoedema, especially in an 81 YO, even though it may seem most likely. How long have you had it?

It was the beginning of Lymphodema in the groin which took me to the doctor where my initial PSA=1000 was discovered. I think it was because there was a lesion growing in a lymph node which blocked the lymph drainage. Went down at night but returned during the day. Regressed and hasnt been seen since start of ADT.
