Thank you Becky and Mary Jo for your sensible calming answers.
Becky, this was my first post. surgical mammo (after the breast reduction). It makes perfect sense that there could be scar tissue, etc. in there. I guess in my rush to think - not cancer again - I did not think of this.
And thank you too Mary Jo for your story - I am more inclined than ever to do a left prophylactic mastectomy now. I had discussed this with both my onc. and BS and they both dissuaded me from doing it. If this turns out to be B9 - I will make another appointment with the Plastic Surgeon I saw last fall about doing a mast. and reconstruction together, just to discuss that possibility.
Just when I think I'm turning a corner, something else happens.

Thanks again for your replies, I really think I will be able to sleep okay now.
