Lump after double mastectomy

I had a skin and nipple spare double mastectomy almost 2 years ago. I found a lump under one of my nipples two days ago. I am freaking out!! I am having an ultrasound sometime next week. I just need to know if anyone has experience this and what has been the outcome? Thanks!!

Sorry to hear your news Grisol. I havent had your experience but I can understand that you are 'freaking out'. Everytime I get something that I worry about it goes to the pit of my stomach, it never seems to leave you. Good luck with the ultrasound and wishing its good news. xx Caroline

I look at it this way. As long as you found it if it is not just scar tissue..it can be treated and removed. I know people whose cancer returned a few times and then now are 20 years clear. Keep the faith.🌹

Sorry to hear your news.

Wait for the scan but if you are at all

Concerned if they say just scar tissue insist on biopsy as it is much more accurate at detection.

I had a lump 5 years after on a reconstructed breast which they said was scar tissue. It grew. A year later on biopsy they said, oh dear you need another op.

Better to be safe than sorry .

Wishing you the best
