Large lump after lumpectomy 5 years ago

Hello

 

i have always had a patch of scar tissue since my lumpectomy (2 attempts) five years ago.  My annual mammogram is due in a couple of weeks but I am concerned that the scar tissue is now sticking University the level of my breast.  It feels like an egg with part of it sitting slightly above the breast.  I am concerned the mammogram can't see what is cancer and what is scar tissue.  

  • Hi Blueberry,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It would be best to discuss these concerns with the doctor when you see them for your appointment - they will be able to advise and hopefully reassure you with this.

    If you'd like to find out more from our nurses in the meantime, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
