Looking for information re: scans or ultrasounds after having double mastectomy
i had a double mastectomy 4 years ago and was wondering if anybody has been offered a scan or ultrasound of the chest wall post treatment.

I was advised not to have an auxilliary clearance of the lymph nodes as it could be detrimental to my quality of life....chance of lymphoedema. I thought that maybe a scan would at least allay any fears. I mentioned this to my Dr. and she said it wasn't necessary.
