good morning. Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but if anyone has been through a similar situation, id love some input. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in Jan of 2013. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy in March of the same year. I've had ultrasounds of my left breast (cancer was in the right) every six months since due to some scar tissue that they wanted to keep an eye on. Up until now, everything has looked fine. I went in last week for my ultrasound and they found a lump with irregular borders that they want to do surgery and biopsy. They are thinking its just scar tissue that took a different shape, but I'm TERRIFIED to go through this again. To add to the stress of this, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and the thought of going under general anesthesia scares me so much. Has anyone ever had a biopsy on something like this and it ended up being scar tissue? This is the report from my visit last week. Thank you.

    Hello Keira,

    I have just read your post and was sorry to hear that you are having this problem and I can understand your anxiety. I cannot answer your question myself but being a nearly ten year survivor of TNBC I do know the anxiety we all go through.

    I think you might get an answer from Calling all TNS if you put your post there. There should be someone there that can help.

    Wishing you all the very best.

    Sylvia xx

    Hi Keira

    I also had some concerns about feeling a lump at my scar tissue but after having ultrasound they assured me that was nothing but scar tissue. I hope everything goes fine with you. Please keep us informed about yourself.
