right breast swelling.

Breast cancer survivor in 1995.  Small, lumpectomy and radiation, no chemo.
No problems since.  Mammo six months ago.  Usual checkup with ob/gyn four days ago.  Pacemaker implanted six months ago. Have AFIBS.  Past two days right breast, where small incision was made swolen, hard, heavy and hurts.  Always before Christmas strange things happen.  This must be some sort of infection.  Will call MD this am, Wednesday, but do any of you have any answers.    Greenwater person.  thanks

Another thought--maybe lymphedema?

Definitely get it checked out, so that you can get some relief.

Best wishes...

I tend to agree with your diagnosis .... either infection or a severe reaction to materials used or implanted. OR something totally unrelated to the Pacer; an abscess (for no particular reason) but we can't discount some of a more serious nature ... please press for some type of investigation to reach a conclusion and don't let the Holidays get in the way !   Regards ....
