Hi Kate,
Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. Also sorry you're worrying about something like this and have to have a CT instead of enjoying your post treatment peace and forays back into the real world. Funny you say "adult world", you're right though, being a 'patient' makes us feel dependent and childlike many times.
I have never heard someone who had a lymphocele post op, but I've read it's a common early complication after cystectomy:
"Early complications were identified in
10 patients in group A and five in group B
(Table 3); in group A the most common was
symptomatic lymphocele, in four, of whom
open surgery was used in one and
percutaneous aspiration in the second, and in
two patients the lymphocele resolved
spontaneously. "

That article was about people over 75 yrs. old.
I hope whatever this is "resolves spontaneously" for you!
Keep us posted.
Wendy
