- iserbrownMember@Nannatash - the best thing I can suggest to you is to ring your Breast care nurse and she will give you some help. A lump whatever it may look like or turn out to be, is best not to be ignored!
- NadiMemberI have a lump on my lumpectomy scar. It really worried me. I always pointed it out to my surgeon, onco and radiologist. They always say it is the scar tissue underneath. I have had mammogram and ultrasound and had the all clear. Lump is still there but a bit softer so I am thinking it is just scar tissue as they said.
- primekMemberMost times it is scar tissue but make an appointment to see your breast surgeon or if in any doubt and a wait to see them ...see your GP and they could order an ultrasound to be sure. The oncologist also you could ask. Pretending its not worrying you is worse I reckon.
- NannatashMemberThankyou guy's ur comments give me a form of relief I see onc and breast surgeon Thursday last chem friday but it hard not to worry its been 13 weeks since surgery mastectomy
- melclarityMemberI agree I think its scar tissue, i also had a mastectomy in February but immediate recon with Diep flap recon and unfortunately I have fat necrosis along the cleavage. They wont remove it until I have my revision and do it all in one hit. Definitely have it checked out by Surgeon I would think would be best. Melinda xo
- socodaMemberHey @Nannatash, I completely agree with what the ladies have said. Just want to send you a big hug. It's the pits when you have to worry about these sorts of things and very stressful until you get it cleared. All the best. Xx Cath
- Brenda5MemberMy last ultrasound reported a cyst on the scar. They didn't say where but it wasn't a worry to them. Hope yours is the same.

- NannatashMemberThanks all you beautiful ladies for comments means alot as we all in this together I love this site it give a form of peace mind xx
- sandramjMemberNannatash it isn't the club we really ever wanted to join, but its nice to know there are so many wonderful people on here supporting one another. After the diagnosis I felt so alone and not able to talk to anyone for fear of worrying them and it was a huge relief when I found this site. People are so supportive and THEY get it - they've been there and its wonderful to be able to ask ?dumb questions and ask for others experiences. This stuff is not available from information packs - reading someones quote in a book isn't nearly as comforting as someones comment back to yours almost immediately. It keeps it real. The old saying if in doubt ask. No such thing as a dumb question in reality. Always ask and get things checked as you would tell those dear to you to do ... Look after you. :) <3.
