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 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.
