1st surveillance scan

So yesterday I had my first surveillance scan (12 months since diagnosis).
They picked up 2 "indeterminant" areas in my affected breast. Surgeon is sure they are post surgical changes but med onc wants them both core biopsied.
I can feel both lumps (picked up 1 about 3 wks ago and surgeon was happy to leave it until yesterday's imaging, second 1 can only feel since it was pointed out yesterday).
Surely I cant be unlucky enough for it to be anything to worry about right?!?
Biopsy appmt is next mon.

    Good luck @JoeyLiz..I found a lump in my affected breast 14 months after my op and it was necrotic tissue, it eventually disappeared on its own. Glad you're onto it .

    That's a Bugger - !   All the best for the biopsies, @JoeyLiz.  Yep, if in doubt, get checked out.  xx

    @JoeyLiz That must be so worrying but it's probably just your doctor doing the right thing and checking it out.  Fingers crossed and let us know how you go.

    It's nerve wracking but your oncologist is doing the right thing. I discovered a lump (armpit, other side) while I was still having chemo - unpleasant wait for the biopsy report but all well. A weird thing I had never heard of but, important part, harmless. Best wishes for a good outcome.

    Gargh! I'll keep everything crossed for you @JoeyLiz. It's good your doctor is being cautious. Big hug, K xox
