Sorry to hear about your ongoing breast worry.We never seem to be free to forget about BC. I don't have a left breast anymore but I do get a puffy area above the scar and towards the underarm-hard to explain exactly where. Sometimes the bra strap constricts it and sometimes it puffs up if I lie on my left side for too long at night.When I had the lumpectomy and radiation(2003) it took literally years for my breast to settle down.I had alot of discomfort and couldn't lie on that side in bed at all.I just put it down to the radiation - it never felt normal/comfortable after it. This probably doesn't help you much but I would say radiation does alot of damage to lymph and blood vessels in your breast and it's possible to get lymphoedema there. It sounds like you've had every test possible on it Mich so all you can do is keep an eye on it.As for Mr doubt,well he's like that unwanted house guest that keeps turning up.If you work out how to get rid of him,let me know!!
