Scar Tissue?
Has anyone else found one or two small lumps just above their mastectomy scar but close to where lymph nodes were removed? I only had 4 nodes removed in February this year which were all clear but now i can feel a small pea sized lump under the skin. I'm thinking it is probably scar tissue but wondered if this is normal. It is not painful, but still a little tender in that area.
I felt some lumps and called the Breast Surgeon. I was a minth out from some reconstruction tweaking. She sent me for a sonogram and confirmed they were fat deposits made by the plastic surgeon still waiting to settle.
You should be perfectly fine waiting to mention it in February-- but if it is weighing on your mind,,it doesn't hurt to put in a call. And for sure put in a call if you feel it's larger or red or hurts,,etc.
Good for you! Get peace of mind....
Thanks for the info. I just phoned my oncology dept. and they said it is most likely just scar tissue but i should get it checked out anyway with our family practicioner
I found a lump under my mastectomy scar and found out it is only oil pockets--the did an ultra sound and found there wasn't anything feeding it.
Is There A Possibility That Breast Cancer Can Come Back After Double Mastectomy?
I Saw My Gyne Today. During The Exam She Felt A Tiny Hard Lump On My Masectomy Scar. Were You Told To Do Any Scar Massage After Surgery?
I Have Found A Lump In The Breast That Had Cancer. Oncologist Thinks Its Probably Scar Tissue. I'm Not Convinced. Anyone Else Have This?
