Your good thoughts must have worked...it's scar tissue, so Option #1.
He looked at the films, and did an US as well. He said that there are not upset lymph nodes, so once again the throbbing chest area is going to have to be attribued to either chemo or Herceptin. There is either a lot "they" don't tell you, or just don't know going into all of this!
I do have a small cyst, but he said it is a simple cyst and nothing to be concerned about.
So, my husband says I have covered all my bases for at least (oh, I don't know) another week or so. LOL
Take care,
