scar tissue
I had a lumpectomy in early April. I have finished chemo and rads with only 5 more Herceptins to go. Here is my problem. I have significant scar tissue at lumpectomy site - the scar tissue lump is at least as large as what was removed and that was 5cm x 2.5cm. I am trying to decide if I should have the scar tissue removed. It is uncomfortable to lay on that side and sometimes it hurts. My GP thinks it should be removed. My onc doesn't seem to have an opinion. The positive side to having the scar tissue is that it is not as noticeable that I had part of my breast removed! The posts/threads on this site have been so helpful through this journey I thought who better to ask - what should I do? PS - if I remove scar tissue I will probably need (want) reconstruction and that is frightening.
Thanks
Donna
