Bit concerned
well on monday i had to go my GP for a couple reasons but the one that really got me upset was that i found another lumb where the original lumpectomy was done. yes i know it could be scar tissue but as the doc couldtn identify if it was or not wer are being safe than sorry and im having a mammy on the 1st october,, that date cant come soon enough,, i have not told my parents but have told my daughter, sister and hubby. i dont want to worry ma and pa un-necesseraly..

Oh i dont know wot to do' im going insain', i have to c the doc 2morrow and talk to him bout havig a double mastecromy, only cos thats where its started and i cant see or feel the one in my organs and bones, but in my breasts i see it and feel it all the time,,,so watch this space for results.
- Hi Cobie, I also have a thick lump between my sentinel node biopsy scar, and my mastectomy scar. I found this awhile ago, and my surgeon, P.S and Oncologist and GP all think it is just scar tissue. I still worry, so have also had 2 ultrasounds 12 months apart, with emphasis on this area. Nothing has ever shown up, so they say scar tissue. It still worries me, and sometimes I am very aware of it. When I fiddle with it, it becomes tender, and so I poke it more. It is so hard to not always think the worst. When I see my surgeon at the end of the year, I will again ask him to feel it. I hope your lump is nothing sinister. Good luck. Love Chris.xx

hello ladies
i had my first lumpectomy on the 15th decem 2012
that was scary enough as the "seroma" fluid got infected and by easter i was in hopsital getting 1.5l of infected goo drained out of it,, all the time i was telling the "professionals" that there was something wrong they just said that i had to wait for the fluid to be reobsorbed into my body,,,,WRONG it was infected and i wasnt listened to...
yes i will ring them on monday,, thank you for that,,, i didnt even think of that,,,
i am staying busy but it s hard not to feel the lump wen i get into the shower or getting dressed,,,
thank you ladies,, have a great weekend,,, i am,, i have loads of gardening to do..
xoxo

I would suggest that you call them and be put on a cancellation list, explain that this is just not a yearly check up. As Tonya says you should get that squeeky wheel going.

You poor darl,that's too long to have to wait for a mammogram.The waiting makes you so anxious.Try ringing each day to see if there is a cancellation- the squeeky wheel gets the oil! I hope you can get in sooner-keep extra busy.
Tonya xx
