Thanks Jolamine, three week wait unfortunately

Lump is small and feels quite rubbery and is very mobile but I just can't stand the thought of three weeks waiting.

Hi LolaJewel,

I must state that I am not a doctor. From reading the forum since I was first diagnosed 12 years ago, I note that some people have had problems with breast implants, especially the Allergan textured ones, but I don’t think that they were still being used by the time yours were done. There have also been talks of ruptured implants too. I expect that this could cause the rubbery type lump that you are describing?

Although this might not be the outcome that you might want, it would be better than having a second cancer. Did you have any treatment after your mastectomies? I can understand your dissatisfaction at having to wait for three weeks to be seen, but some people are having to wait a lot longer due to Covid. Try to keep yourself occupied to help the time to pass. No amount of worry will change the outcome. When your emotions start to get out of hand, remind yourself that “it isn’t cancer until you’re told that it’s cancer”.  Chances are that when your original cancer was caught early, with no lymph node involvement, that even if you have another cancer, it is unlikely to mean worst case scenario for you.

I sincerely hope that there is a simpler explanation. Please let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
