▲ 3 r/breastcancer
I had my lumpectomy on 2/26 and finished radiation about 3 weeks ago.
My surgeon rearranged the tissue during the lumpectomy.
My boob has always had a very even feel, and my 'lump' was never palpable. I have no idea what is normal after surgery, but certainly scar tissue and inflammation will change things.
I'm feeling a denser area in my tumor area, which I suspect is normal but I don't want to ignore it if I shouldn't. I see my gynecologist for my endometrial cancer check on the 13th...he planned to do a breast exam at this check but that was before the BC kerfuffle.
Should I contact the breast specialist? Or let my gyno check it and make the call? Is lumpy normal after surgery? Or at least this soon after surgery?
What would you do?
