Hi, I had a lumpectomy back in February, just finished course of radiotherapy 3 weeks ago and find hard lumpy area under scar, is this normal? 

  • I also have a hard lump under scar, assuming scar tissue as everything heals and knits back together. Jo. My lumpectomy was Jan 2022. 

  • I still have a hard lump though it has significantly shrunk since my surgery/radiotherapy in May/August 2021, consultant said healing process can take up to a year, sometimes more. I'm also still tender to the touch round my ribs and the bony area above affected breast. Not looking forward to the upcoming mammogram.  

  • It feels as though the worry of it all is never ending! 
    Friends seem to think that because treatment has ended that everything is fine now, but that’s far from the truth!
