Hi all. I had a lumpectomy in November and my tumour was 22mm so i had a mastopexy to reshape the breast. At the bottom of my breast where the vertical scar meets the u (bottom of the anchor), the scar is pulling upwards towards/into breast, like a little dent where the scar meets. My boob looks slightly like a rounded w at the bottom. I am hopeful that this is due to the surgery/healing, as it's by where the tissue was removed, but i am also absolutely terrified that this is a new tumour causing the skin to pull up (a dent under my breast is how i spotted my cancer)
I have just had my 3rd session of radiotherapy so i will ask my onco about it on Monday but I'm so terrified that i just thought I'd see if anyone else has had similar?
