Great news!! It is scar tissue!! The SO had a close look at things and he was certain that it is scar tissue. I had several surgeries prior to my cancer diagnosis- so there is a LOT of scar tissue, and now, combined with the effects of radiation- it's made that much worse.
He was so kind and told me not to hesitate going back to see him as and when I feel anything that I don't like. I assume it's going to take some time to understand these "new normals", and I was very appreciative of his attitude.
Needless to say I was so happy, I nearly danced out of the hospital!!!

Thank you again for sharing your stories, and your continued kindness and support!! If anyone is going to be at the April 28 NYC walk- let me know. I plan to be there!!

Thank you!! Sally
