    Call your DR
    At least call one of your Drs. If you don't feel comfortable with talking to your Chemo Dr, call your PC. I'm 2 1/2 yrs post TX and I always call my PA first about anything that' going on - she's been my PC for 16 yrs and is great so she's my first to go to. Call whoever you are most comfortable with but call someone.

    Don't...
    Don't let being uncomfortable stop you from getting this checked out.....better safe than sorry! Either with Your oncologist, which is who I would see, or your primary doc....

    Hugs, Nancy

    Do Not Be Embarassed
    Any lump, bump or oddity should be checked out and no amount of shyness or embarrassment should keep you from seeking medical help to ensure your continued survivor-ship. You have finished your chemo which to me means you have worked hard to stay alive so please do not allow this to stop you now...go get it checked out!

    My best to you,
