Back on the forum after 1.5 years…
I was diagnosed with TNBC 2 years ago: 3cm, no lymph node invasion. I had 16 Chemo+6 Keytruda, double mastectomy with reconstruction, and PCR. All 23 nodes were removed, without infiltration signs. I had no Rads or other treatment since.
In January 2024 I had another surgery on the same breast, to reposition the implant because the skin was too thin.
Starting May-June I began feeling a diffuse thickening of the skin on the operated breast(not specifically on the scar) with 2 spots of about 2-3 cm where the skin feels a bit hard. I had an Echo that confirmed 7mm edema and a thickening of the skin of 4mm, without any discernable mass.
I had 2 doctors telling me it was just a benign change after surgery and a third one(the one that performed the ECO) who sent me for an MRI on Friday.
I am so scared, out of my mind.
Has anybody had this experience? I feel so alone and remember how much this forum helped me during my treatment.
