Hi This is my first post, so please bear with me…4 years ago I found a lump on my left reast near my underarm, I went to the clinic and was told it was a Fibroadenoma,and went away etc etc…I put up with the lump for all this time until t started to get painful,so in June this year I went back to my Gp, who referred me to the Breast Clinic, I had a ultra sound and also a Mammogram (Im 35) and was told its a Fibroadenoma and it needs to be removed,Ive just came out of hospital after having it removed on Thursday,it ws 1 inch by 1 inch,and there had been a slight change in it since 4 years ago. so im recovering at the moment.Im now waiting for an appointment to go back and get results as they also done a biopsy.Im not expecting it to be cancerous, but was wondering IF it could turn cancerous.I also was told I have Fibrocystic breast disease, and was wondering who else has this and what can be done about it and what medication is available.
Ive had cervical cancer in 19999, when I was 26 had a 3inch tumor and needed a radical hysterectomy and lymphectomy but Im fine now,but My boobs have always been very lumpy and sore, and in the past my gp gave me Danazol to take which I did for about 9 months until My cancer surgeon advised me to stop those and take Tamoxifen which I did but dont take anymore.
Any advise would be appreciated thankyou x
Until you get the results I don’t think you can be sure what it is. Some lumps look like fibroadenomas but are in fact cancerous. I had one like this
Tamoxifen halves the chance of getting oestrogen receptive breast cancer so good luck

Hi Dids

Hi dids19
From what I’ve read it is extremely rare for fibroadenomas to be cancerous, but it is fairly standard procedure to remove them if they are of a certain size and then have regular follow-ups to monitor the area. As Mole says, the biopsy will confirm what exactly it is, but fingers crossed it is all ok for you.
Good luck.
