Lump in non cancer breast

I am going through the same thing you are. I had a bilat mastectomy in 2009. There is a lump on my right breast which was the non-cancer side. The radiologist said it was not a mass and it is subcutaneous. Waiting on my breast surgeon to call me back. I am glad it isn't a mass but still feel uneasy that I feel a lump. I am hoping my breast surgeon decides to do more tests or biopsy it but I have a feeling he is just going to tell me to keep an eye on it.

Hi shelloz1 - I really don't want to frighten you but a lump / raised area appeared in the opposite breast to my original cancer. I detected it myself (it was painful like my previous BC) and after monitoring it for a month or so I realised that it was growing bigger. I went for mammogram and ultrasound which was negative. They did a biopsy ONLY because I had a previous history of BC. It turned out to be high grade cancer - they had no way of knowing how extensive it was because it was invisible to their scans. So, I had a bilateral mastectomy and they found 4cm of grade 3 DCIS (so fortunately no chemo the second time around). Mammograms miss 20% of cancers - especially if you have dense breast tissue. I caution you to monitor this lump. If you note any changes get straight back to your doctor and ask for a biopsy to 'put your mind at rest'. Hope this gets sorted soon for you X.
