Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 my surgery was a year and a half ago and I still have the a lump of scar tissue it is painful to massage but I have done it a couple of times with eucerine and it seems to be a lot softer. Good luck Sharon C. Kate wrote: Thanks everyone for all of your help. Now, I have another question. I had a lumpectomy about 13 days ago. Now, I have developed a lump about the size of a ping pong ball right above the incision. My doc told me this is scar tissue, and that it should go away in about two months. My neighbor has never had this type of surgery, but she said there is a type of massage I can do to help dissolve this. She did not know what it was, but said she had heard of it. Can anyone tell me more about this, and how it is done? I wonder why my surgeon never mentioned this to me. Thanks in advance. Kate No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Sharon, Thanks. How do you stand the pain during a mammogram? I have to get a mammogram in four months, and this concerns me. It sounds worse than the lumpectomy. Kate > > > > > Thanks everyone for all of your help. Now, I have another question. > > > > I had a lumpectomy about 13 days ago.
