thickening

Hi haven’t been on here for a couple of years since treatment finished but would just like to ask something.
Between my lumpectomy scar and lymph node scar the area seems to have thickened. I can only feel it with my arm down it seems to go the higher my arm goes.
I don’t know weather to get it checked at the doc or leave for a while. Ive noticed it about 2 weeks ago.
Its not hormonal as i had my ovaries removed so therefore no periods.
I am on aromosin tablets have been for 6 weeks after changing from arimidex, dont know if that is the cause.
Thanks, prehaps some advice will spur me on.

it could just be to do with scar tissue left over after surgery, but if your niot sure of it then get it checked out… if you contact your breast care nurse she should be able to organise you to be seen rather than going through your gp which would prob be a longer process to get seen.

fingers crossed that it isnt anything serious

Hello Jackdp
yes definitely get it checked. It probably isn’t anything serious but you’ll worry until you do. I still have scar tissue 3 years after my WLE.
Good luck

Hi went to the doc this morning and he said all he can feel is muscle ,no lumps, so to go back in 3/4 weeks if im still worried.
