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.

    I know what you mean - a world of difference between this Christmas and last. Best wishes for 2019 to you, too.

    @Sister I'm well thanks! How are you going? I'm so glad to have finished all treatment, my last herceptin was on 24th dec! Must admit Christmas was lovely compared to the 1 before where I was in so much pain from chemo. My breast is still sore and full of fluid but other than that no issues, I have an ultrasound in March to check out that third little area they picked up in Oct and then see my surgeon.
    I hope you had a lovely christmas and wish you (and everyone else on here) all the best for this year x

    @JoeyLiz Just wondering how you're going - hopefully just way too busy getting on with life to come on here much.

    Good news so far! Fingers crossed that the third is the same.

    Thanks for wishes everyone. The 2 lumps came back all clear as scar tissue and fat necrosis.
    There it a 3rd 1 that they are ultrasounding in 6months
