Carcinoma Cancer In Neck. Had Chemotherapy Treatments. Have Tender Lump In Nipple. Done Mammogram. Is It A Side Effect?
I had 3 chemotherapy treatments ending in aug.2012 for a carcinoma cancer in my right side neck area. now, aug. 2013 I am noticing a firm tender lump behind my left breast nipple, that my doctor thinks could be a side effect to my chemo. my chemo drug was Cisplatin. could this be a possible side effect? I have had a mammogram 2 days ago and am kind of anxious now.

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
I dont think this is side effect of chemotherapy but it is probbaly just benign fibroadenomatous lesion which is commonly seen in women +45years. Of course, some more serious conditions should be ruled out by ultrasound and biopsy so just be patient till tests are done.
Hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health. regards
