I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy in Mar/April 2006. Chemo and rads and now on Tamoxifen. The other day in the bath I thought I felt a lump. Was due my check-up at the hospital so had that yesterday. The doctor felt my breast and said it felt ‘nodular’. Have requested a scan - but don’t know how soon they can do it. Am very scared and don’t want to tell anybody because it is Christmas. Last year I was bald and having rads, this year was supposed to be a celebration and am now terrified but hiding it. Can anybody offer me some words of reassurance?

Hi Tawny,
I had op and treatment last year. When I went back for a check up about a year ago, my other breast was described as nodular. Had scan and nothing sinister found. Please try not to worry - I know easier said than done - you will be annoyed if you worry unnecessarily. I really hope there will be nothing wrong. I guess we are more aware of our bodies than pre BC.
