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?
On March 20th, I had a lumpectomy in left breast, reduction in right breast, with reconstruction on both. 16 rounds of radiation. I've been on hormone blockers for 2 months now.

It sounds like it probably is scar tissue or maybe fluid/seroma. If you had all the imaging done prior to your lumpectomy in March and went through radiation and been on Anastrozole for 2 months, I just doubt a new lump would be felt in the same place. lumpectomy and radiation can cause scar tissue and some of the tenderness might very well be from radiation.

Get the PT, and yes, keep up with the exercises. And keep pushing for imaging! You deserve concrete answers and peace of mind! Hugs!
I agree. Imaging would certainly put your mind at rest.
