Cyst or something more sinister

Hi,

I went to see my previous surgeons to talk about risk reducing surgery on my “good” side last Wednesday - all good, they agreed to do it. Mentioned to my consultant that I had a hard patch (I was lobular last time) and small lump very close to, if not under, my nipple. My consultant could feel both the patch and lump for himself without me telling him where they were and sent me off for an ultrasound, and then I had 2 core biopsies.

My question is, as I’ve had two cysts before in this breast but they were well away from the nipple, has had anyone had a lump so close to the nipple that then turned out to be a cyst? I can’t help but feel this is bad news again.

Was first dxd in Feb 07 - had mastectomy, no rads or chemo and just tamoxifen.

Would love to hear from ladies with cysts that close to the nipple (of course I would!).
