Getting any new changes checked out after cancer treatment is always worth discussing with your care team - they're the best ones to evaluate what you're feeling and provide guidance based on your specific situation. Many people in this community understand the anxiety that can come with noticing changes, and reaching out here shows great self-advocacy for your health.

I think if you have any concern then you should check it out; even if it's just for your peace of mind. Always better safe than sorry and early detection is best if your concern is right!

Call your surgeon. You should becoming up on your one year mammogram. Get checked out earlier. You will feel better.
