I would opt for the oncologist, but either way get imaging asap, and we will all pray for scar tisse results, which it could be. Keep us posted, we are here for you

I had a reoccurance just 20 months after my bilateral mastectomy in the armpit of the affected breast. The tumor was remarkably similar to the first. Two years later and doing great - again!!! Keep the faith!!!

I have read that if it reoccurs it often will be in the area where it was originally, so I would get it checked out ASAP. Will join Robin in praying for you!!

Fear not, for God is with you! :D

I have lumps in my affected breast that are scar tissue from radiation, and my oncologist, my wizard of onc..knows them well. So indeed it may be adhesions or scar tissue..we will keep the good thoughts rolling
