Sorry for a million questions…..
I have noticed some itching but it’s kind of been in different areas of my breast, not in the spot that I feel this new “lump.” Did yours only itch in that area?

Did they biopsy it first or did you just have the Mastectomy surgery?

And Since it was in the same breast as before, what treatment did you do? Did you have radiation the first time? I have heard you can only have radiation to an area once.

I’m happy to answer any questions if it helps you. The deep itching was the same breast but further center than the lump under my arm. My nipple was also itchy. At the time, I didn’t connect it with breast cancer, but in hindsight I believe those were my cues. So many other things went ‘upside down’ in my life at that point, it’s kind of a blur, but yes…I’m quite certain we did some kind of biopsy because I clearly remember the surgeon telling me we caught it at stage 0 (which I didn’t even know existed). Later I had a sentinel node biopsy done…and then the bilateral mastectomies. Correct…no radiation (or chemo) this time…they said my skin/tissue was already ‘toast’. Mentally, intentionally fight against fear…but I do think your itching alone is something you need to get checked out. Sending you ((hugs)) of encouragement! 🩷
