Hi

I was diagnosed with DCIS in November and operated on at the beginning of December. Yesterday  I have underwent a sentinel lymph node biopsy. My reshaped breast has a hard lump on the side all the original biopsies were done. Anyone else experienced this and does it settle down with time?

  • Hi

    I am 4.5 years down the line and my breast wasn't re-shaped. I ended up with a dent (due to 80mm being removed).  I do have lumps just above my 3 inch scar, which is actually painful to touch if I press hard, or lie face down.  I think this is scar tissue.  But the shape/lumps haven't changed in all the years since.

    Possible other people's do, but mine hasn't.

    Best Wishes, Lesley
