I had an ultrasound that described it as ill defined non specific focal shadowing soft tissue. I had previous complete axillary excision and this has popped up 7 months after surgery. The area was radiated and I had Erbitux, carboplatin and 5-FU cocktail. Has anyone had any scar tissue that lit up that wasn't cancerous? I obviously need a biopsy and am back in the scared zone. Thanks!
