Is this normal?

Probably a seroma @Timmy Get it checked out, your surgeon should know about it. Usually they resolve themselves in time, though they can be frustratingly persistent and can require drainage in some circumstances. Mxx

hi Timmy, 
Do you have a breast Care Nurse ? 
as it sounds like you haven't  had any surgery yet...? 
did you have a biopsy? 
Have a talk to her or the BCNA telephone line number below....

How to understand your pathology reports

Hi Timmy - welcome to the forum - there's a heap of info here to help you along the way.

Is the lump firm or squishy?  Tender/sore or not?

I've just had an ultrasound as my surgery area (around the nipple) has become tender to the touch & uncomfortable at night when I rolled over onto it - and it is a Seroma/fluid buildup which 'should' dissolve into the surrounding tissue some time soon (I hope!)..... I've been aware of it for a 3-4 weeks now and the ultrasound has confirmed it.  That would be your first port of call, I reckon.

Or - if you've been doing your strength training (how long ago did you start that?) You may have popped an internal stitch or something?
