Hello,
I’m posting my question here because I don’t know under which category it should really go. I was diagnsoed with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) in July and had a lumpectomy by the end of the month. This was followed a month later by 25/5 sessions of radiation. I’m done with radiation. I’ve been put on Tam two months ago.
My oncologist had requested an ultrasound which I had two weeks ago. The radiologist said she could see a nodule in the same place of the surgery and performed a biopsy. The results showed this is a fat necrosis probably resulting from surgery and/or radiation. My surgeon wants to have it removed.
My question is: does this fat necrosis need to be surgically removed? What if I decide not to have it removed? I’m dreading the thought of going through another surgery three months after the first one and my skin is still tender after radiation.
I hope somoene can help answer my question.
Thank you.
