  • Hi Chris,

     

    i'm in almost the same situation as you - I'm 5 years post diagnosis and have started getting pain around the scar tissue from where I had a lumpectomy.  Only two weeks ago though I had my annual mammogram and ultrasound and everything looked fine. It was actually quite painful where she was pressing when doing the ultrasound and I commented on this and she just said it was the scar tissue, she didn't seem concerned. I'm wondering if this new pain may be the nerve endings still repairing as the area has still been pretty numb.

     

    Hope this helps to put your mind at rest a bit?
