Double mastectomy with Diep 9 weeks ago lump

Options

I know it is way to soon as I just had surgery not that long ago and still getting my strength back. Had breast cancer in both breasts, right one was stage 2 and a little more aggressive then the left stage 1. I am still swollen etc but has gotten better. Two days ago noticed on my right a longer hard lump that moves and is locatedtoward my chest wall maybe? Upper left inside of breast. Will call doc but wonder what it is?

    Could be scar tissue, but any change warrants attention. Keep us posted.

    Jolsonrose1 I had a similar situation after double mastectomy with reconstruction. I felt a lump near where original tumor was so I brought it to the attention of the plastic surgeon when I was there for a checkup and he was certain it was stitches from the surgery. I will continue to follow up with it but this was reassuring for me.
