First a little background. In October 2013 I was dx with IDC, Stage 1A, PR+, ER+, HER- .  Oncotype DX was 16. I had a lumpectomy, followed by a revision (for margin). This was followed by 35 Radiation tx. I completed Radiation the last of January and started Tamoxifen in February. My pathology report following the revision showed no evidence of residual tumor, florid epithelial hyperplasia without atypia. A few weeks ago I noticed a change in the affected breast, near the surgical scar. It is now a definite mass. The rational me says stay calm, it's just scar tissue but I am scared that it's not. Since it's Friday night I can't do a thing until Monday except worry.  Comments? Thoughts?

    Hi Littled, we want to welcome you to the breastcancer.org community.

    Sorry to hear that you have all this worry on your shoulders. 

    It's understandable that it is difficult to listen to your rationale side when you don't know for sure what the mass is.

    The community is here to support you in any way we can. 

    hugs from the Mods
