I noticed what I thought was a skin tag, but when it was biopsied (since the oncologist was suspicious) it was indeed a return of the BC...I've read in the lit that a local recurrence like this after radiation is very rare, about 2%, so I was just 'lucky' 🙂 Since had returned and was close to skin surface, I had to have a mastectomy, and since no sentinel node found, she removed 8 more nodes, all clear (after 8 removed at time of previous lumpectomy). It has been 1.5 yrs now, I have adjusted to the new me.
