There are lots of residual abnormalities related to breast surgery and, typically, alot of scar tissue. Many of us have these issues, but the doctors always need to order it investigated if it hasn't already been determined to be benign. Chances are very high that you'll be just fine.

Yes, scar tissue can look like cancer. After my excision, I started having this 'thing' show up in ultrasound. It changed over the months. A year later, they finally biopsied it-it was scar tissue. If you're going through hell, keep going-Winston Churchill
