Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
I know, strange to be pleased by a hernia!
Ruth I don't want to stop trampolining, it's so fun and my osteoporosis specialist says it's a great way to keep your bones strong?!?
The sonographer said its the kind of hernia we won't need to sorry about as it's not uncomfortable ... Yet.
All good, thanks all

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
Dr Janette and Dr Tracey were correct in their diagnosis of a hernia!!! Great news WM. It is an interesting world we inhabit where we think a hernia is good news but it is!

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
Warrior mummy for your sanity you really need to have those nodes checked out by your oncologist. Good luck with your article and keep us posted.

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
I hope you're being referred to have some tests or seeing your Onc so you can hopefully settle your mind WM. I'm sure your article will be exceptional.

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
No he said it's the lymph nodes in the groin area. Starting to freak out - doesn't help that I'm writing an article about breast cancer for work and it's upsetting reading all the research ((

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
Well I hope he gave you a request for an ultrasound!!! Mets can pop up anywhere but the abdo incision seems a very unlikely place.

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
Thanks everyone. Have had a dr come over tonight as I couldn't get in to see my usual doctors. He was great but couldn't really give a clear indication of what it is. He said 'I'm sorry I'm not an ultrasound machine' haha! He said it could be a hernia or metastasis. Hoping for the former!

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
It sounds like an incisional hernia to me. Of course it needs to be checked! If it is soft and reducible and not painful it is probably ok to wait and see your GP during the week .

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
Hi WM,
Here is fine for the question or anywhere really.
I wonder if it could be a hernia. Try not to panic, certainly see a Dr asap, try to contact the PS who did the surgery and ask their opinion on Monday. It seems from below link that it does happen.

Re: Large lump near DIEP stomach incision
it needs to be seen asap - breast clinic first thing tomorrow and they can notify surgeon as well if it looks like something has gone wrong. If it looks or feels really bad or worsening then go straight to hospital emergency. Better to have it checked quickly than take a risk. Hope it is just fatty deposit or something easily fixed.
