Yes it is possible to have a lump on the mastectomy side. As much as the surgeon tries, they are not able to remove all of the breast tissue. This being said, I just saw my surgeon last week for the same reason. I had an ultrasound and it turned out to be normal tissue. The surgeon explained that scar tissue can buid up around where they have to tie off ligatures when they do the lymphadenectomy. It is always best to have them check it out though, if it were something, it is best to catch it early. There can be local recurrances that can be taken care of reasonably easily.
Let us know how it comes out.
