Hey Everyone! I have a question. I was recently diagnosed with a breast cancer recurrence after positive mamma/ultrasound. The doctor says two tumors are located on the chest wall (I had a mastectomy) I. After biopsy , I had an MRI scan and the tumors were not seen. Is it possible that the tumors could still be deeper in the chest wall? I feel I can still palpate both of them. I have not had any surgery or treatment for this recurrence yet.
