I am 7 weeks post rads 8 on monday my breast has healed nicely but had a pain under my breast so I checked where the pain was comming from and I felt a lump its in the tissue under the breast checked my other breast and nothing in that one in that place , this morning tried to get hold of breast nurse but no luck so rang gp and was told to go down,Dr checked where I said the lump was and he said there is nothing there and that I was checking myself wrong he said I should be using the palm of my hand this is how he checked me so he would not feel the lump doing it this way I said I use my first three fingers together flat using the pads of my fingers in circular motions gentle first then slightly more pressure and so on, he said using that way I would feel lumps as when your older your breasts become lumpy I apologized for wasting his time and came home, he also told me not to worry as I have had treatment and am on tamoxifen so he doubted I would get the cancer back I am so confused now and anxious he made me feel silly, I am going to try and get hold of the breast nurse tomorrow has anyone had similar experience with finding a lump post radiation treatment
