Hi Leanne, congrats on finishing Radiation. You must be tired going straight back to work, but it still feels good to be finished active treatment. The last week of my radiation I found a huge lump in same breast as lumpectomy. Ultrasound showed no cancer, thank God, but inflammation and oedema from the radiation. Soreness under my armpit was a seroma that I didn't know I had. Now a month later it is all slowly improving. I figure the node they removed in my surgery would have drained this area and now cant, maybe that explains what the doc calls a pocket of "lymphoedema". Does that make sense? Like you I have follow up mammo and ultrasound in June for yearly checkup, but the docs aren't concerned about this new lump. Hang in there, I know its freaky so soon after treatment. Perhaps ask your treating team for an earlier ultrasound to put your mind at ease. Take care, Tracey
