Hi I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I finished treatment 3 years ago after a mastectomy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy). In December I found a lump under the mastectomy scar. After having a biopsy they have come back to say I had at least 3 areas of concern but they were all benign. I thought I would feel relieved but I actually feel even more anxious as I could only feel one lump. Going forward I'm worried this happens again and I don't feel any lumps until its too late. I'm really struggling to get my head around it. Can anyone suggest how to get past this.
