Hard spot below my port incision scar

Is it about the size of the port? When I had mine removed, they said they had to trim away some scar tissue that had grown around the port but there's no hardness there now. I don't think it has anything to do with needles, but just the body's natural reaction to a foreign body.

littlecheese - I would request an ultrasound of the area - and I am recommending this to rule out a blood clot. Your port removal is pretty recent, but you are also on Tamoxifen, correct? Both of these things can contribute to the formation of a clot at the port site. A US should be able to rule out a vascular anomaly, and also just provide info if this is something that needs further assessment. Another possibility is scar tissue - I have found, through 18 breast cancer related surgeries, and 45 skin cancer surgeries (yes, you read that right...) sometimes the scar tissue can be nodular or raised, and may take time to settle down and flatten. There are some commercial silicone scar mediators that can hasten that process - I use Biocorneum, recommended by my PS. Another possibility is a suture granuloma, meaning that your body has interpreted one of the dissolvable sutures as a foreign invader and decided to coat it repeatedly, but the US should be able to discern whether that is the case. Good luck!
