Mastectomy scar

Hi 

I had a left mastectomy in July 22 all has healed well and I have now finished treatment so chemo and radio for invasive lobular ca that was hormone positive.  I also had node clearance. I’m question is should the tissue under my scar feel hard and lumpy? It looks fine it’s just stressing me out. The feeling is also starting to come back around my scar and it can be quite itchy. I don’t know what lumps and bumps o should be worried about now? 

  • Hi Iris,

    It is often difficult to decide what feels wrong after surgery, as scar tissue can feel like a lump.

    I have had a lumpectomy and a double mastectomy. This was 14 years ago now, but I am still aware of  if a lumpiness underneath my scar tissue. If you are worried, it might be helpful to have a word with your breast care nurse in the first instance.

    Kind regards,
