Hi Ellie and welcome to Cancer Chat.
Our team of cancer nurses should be able to help with this, so do give them a call when you can on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Hopefully some of our members who have had similar findings will share their experiences and advice with you as well, but you may be able to get further information about this from the charity Breast Cancer Now.
I hope this helps and all goes well with your recovery.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
