Kinden, great news, go celebrate!
Moondog, I had a "recurrance" 1 year after my MX/recon. It was found on an MRI scan and if I hadn't had an MRI ,heaven knows when it would have been found as it was not palpable and I got no imaging of my recon at follow-up.
No real explanation was given at the time which left me very anxious and upset. However, my surgeon then retired and my new surgeon was interested to find out what happened. He discussed my case with pathology and suggested the "recurrance" was actually cells left over from my core biopsy as they were so close to the skin i.e where the needle track was.
I found this reassuring as I hadn't produced a new tumour after such a short time. It was also reassuring to think, if it had been there for a year it hadn't grown as it was only 1.5mm IIRC.
I had WLE and rads with bolus to treat the skin surface intensely.
I hope yours is just a hiccup in your recovery like mine and has no lasting effects.
Love n hugs
Dot
