The lump could be from the radiation. My nurse at the radiation center told me this is a side effect of radiation. One of the side effects besides burning etc. . I believe she called it radiation fibrosis . She said it usually shows up a month afterwards. But can not show up till a year down the road. But usually not longer than that. She was just trying to say, if I feel something funny, don’t freak out and get scared, but do let them know.
So sorry to hear this.
You've been through such a lot & done amazingly well. I pray you'll do the same this time & hope you've a good support system of loving people to help you again to recover & heal..sending love x

This 5 yr mark seems to be critical year for reoccurrence but SO happy yours was found at an early stage! So many reoccurrences seem to be caught-why is this? Did an MRI pick up-I have dense breasts and my lobular is sneaky! Good luck-xoxo

Thank you for your response!! Hopefully that is the case. Do you know if Fibrosis can be seen on an MRI?
You are welcome! I honestly do not know. I did not ask .
