Push your Onc (and the port doc) that you want whatever scan might best reveal any activity in that area (don't know if it would be MRI or PET/CT for soft tissue)!!

I had pain under right breast (mastectomy side) and all the way across my chest to the left side two years ago, and after scans revealed nothing, it turned out to be scar tissue that had formed around my implant which was tugging on nerves and referring pain to the left breast. I have mild left breast pain now as well, but I end up with either MRI or PET just about every 3-4 months, so I know that whatever it is we will see it in a couple of weeks when I go for another PET.

Good luck and just be thorough!! Your instints told you before to push for further
testing and I think you should this time too.
