Hi,

I seem to have some swelling/lumpiness on the left mastectomy site, so my surgeon has ordered an MRI. I am worried and hoping it is simply benign scar tissue etc. I had something similar last year and it turned out to be benign.

I don't feel upto facing any check ups without first posting here for all your good wishes. I have done it so many times before scans, tests etc and feel at peace as soon as I see the first reply.

So, please pray that my MRI results will be clean and no sign of the dreaded C word.

Lots of love,
shobha
