Shoyei and I have just come from seeing Dr. Corn. Yes, we decided she was the best choice to determine if this "lump" is anything. We learned a lot.First of all, she had a hard time finding it and it does seem as if it has shrunk. She explained that the radiation has done a lot of damage to the tissue and even a fat cell would constrict and harden. She thinks that's what I was feeling. She said it would be really hard to punch biopsy it. So we will wait a couple of months and revisit with her to note any changes.It makes sense and is why I have to wait 6 to 9 months before they will do my reconstruction. I am told my muscles will slowly relax and this tightness will become looser. Sounds good to me. I am relieved.
