Hi everyone
I know the answer is to contact BCN but....has anyone post mastectomy have hard bony lumps on chest wall. I have one upper right and another more central. I did mention it to my BCN 3 months ago but was told it was the new me! But I do feel the lumps are getting bigger & have a gut feeling all not well. Usual my gut feeling is spot on ... 2 x breast cancer episodes over the past 16 years diagnosed after gut feelings!
I haven't had hard bony lumps, but if you are concerned I would ring BCN like your gut is telling you to. Is just worth checking out, otherwise it will play on your mind. I have some hard lumps but mine are just hard scar tissue that doesn't move much - at least that is what the ultrasound showed. Wishing you good luck with finding out what these lumps are. xx
I had my mastectomy in January and I do have a bony hard lump near the outer chest wall and the breast consultant said it was fat necrosis and the plastic surgeon should be able to resolve it but I haven’t had that appointment as yet. As you say, first step is to re engage and hopefully it’s nothing. But don’t leave it, you must get checked out, this is my second time around too x
