Does anyone else have a hard lumpy bit in the chest after a mastectomy?
I saw my surgeon for my biannual check up. I had a single mastectomy in 2015. I almost got away with the all clear but happened to mention again about a bony lump almost in the center of my chest but ...
I have a similar chunky bit lower on my sternum, just below my implants. It's been investigated over the years but it wasn't until I had a PET scan following my recurrence that I could accept it isn't anything sinister. Being the scar tissue and adhesion queen It makes sense, in my case, that it is just a lump of irritation, but I don't like it either and if I wear a bra for any more than a couple of hours I get bruising over it too.
I've had laser and ultrasound therapy on that spot over the years in an attempt to break it up, but the bloody thing seems there to stay. Hopefully yours is just another weirdo anomaly as well. Mxx
