Hi I finished radiotherapy in Feb 2020 following removal of oestrogen positive lump and 2 lymph nodes removed in left breast.  I have been fine taking letrozole but recently noticed a lump on my back near the bottom of my shoulder blade.  I have read some articles that suggest it could be scarring from the radiotherapy exit path.  I have a telephone appointment with the oncology nurse this week but just wondered has anybody experienced this?  Thanks for any reassurance Jackie x

  • Hi Jackie44

    WhileI haven’t had any experience you are looking for I noticed you had no replies yet so I’m bumping you back up to the top of the discussion in the hope that you will get an answer to your question. You could also ask your in question in the breast cancer radiotherapy thread I. The diagnosis and treatment section of this forum.

    Best wishes
