Fibroadenoma next to another one? Plus many more

Hi everyone,

I’ll start from the beginning…lol. Im a 26 yo female and about 2 years ago, I noticed my right breast tissue changing in the upper out quadrant. I had a scan and they said it was just nodular tissue. Fast forward a year, I found a lump on my RB above my nipple, they carried out an US and a core biopsy which showed it to be a fibroadenoma.

One year on again and the tumor has grown and changed shape. There is also another new lump right next to it. They’ve also found a small lump near my armpit in my RB and there’s a lump in my LB in the upper quadrant. I’ve had the big one in my RB biopsied and the new one that’s sprouted next to it to determine if it is a new one or whether it has emerged from the original.

Has anyone ever experienced this before?

They’re talking about whether I should have an MRI too.

Should I be worried, as I’m starting to get really concerned. =/ I don’t want to talk about it to anyone really as I don’t want everyone fussing but I can’t help thinking that it’s cancer, hate the waiting for results.

Anyone’s help, advice or support wold be much appreciated
