What symptoms for your local reoccurrence?

12 years out and now have a change in color at the mastectomy scar, as well as a little pain and tingling. Doctor is ordering a bunch of blood tests and a chest CT with Contrast test now. Yes, I am a little nervous. I cannot believe how scared I am that this monster might be back. I am definitely not as strong as I was for the first battle physically or emotionally.

Ugh, so sorry for the scare!

I had another lump in my mastectomy breast. I had been feeling some pain in the area, like a stretching or pulling sensation. Turns out the tumor was pressing on some nerves since there wasn't really any breast tissue or fat to mask it.

I hope this is nothing for you! Please let us know how things are going.

Thank you Emily. I don't feel a lump, but definitely tingling, pulling and swollen hard. Dang. CT tomorrow, will hope for the best. Thank you for your kindness, it is really nice to have someone to talk to!
