Throbbing Pain in Breast

in Breast Cancer #1

I had a bilateral mastectomy approximately 18 months ago with tram-flap reconstruction followed by implants (long story) and an additional lymph node biopsy 6 months ago (results were negative).  For the past week, I've had a steady throbbing in my left breast. It worries me a little.  Has anyone had experience with this?

    I have a regularly scheduled appt with my onc on Friday. I was just hoping someone else had experienced it and maybe it was just phantom pain or something along those lines.

    Pain

    I have pain in the area sometimes where there once was a breast.  I've had it checked out and it appears to be scar tissue causing the trouble.  So, of course, get it checked out, but know that chances are you are fine! xoxoxox
