Scar tissue 4yrs post Op with pain
Has anyone been diagnosed with Scar Tissue from a Lumpectomy? I have.. 4 years Post Op but my surgeon wants to operate to remove it.. I am doubting if this is necessary?
Hi @Hillview - welcome to the club that no-one really wanted to join!
Can you feel the scar tissue yourself, or did it show up on a Mammogram or ultrasound? I had a lumpectomy and my 1st year mammogram & US it showed 'something' that they were unsure of - so they did a biopsy on it and it was some sort of "hypoechoic fat necrosis tissue'' .... and was nothing to worry about - so I assume it is still there.
Have they done a Biopsy on it? If not, you could request one - and secondly - you could ask for a 2nd opinion if you have access to another breast surgeon nearby.
Feel free to tell us a bit more about yourself & what surgery & treatment you had .... you can also add your 'town/city' in your Profile (so it shows near your name.) Some members may even be living nearby & if you wanted to, when covid 'friendly', could meet up with them for a coffee & chat .....
take care & I hope you are able to resolve your concerns ..... xx
