I would like some advice regarding my situation. Last Oct09 I had an infection in my left breast and also had a lump. Once the infection went I had a mammogram and an ultrasound and from that visit a biopsy taken. They also found another lump and had a biospy of that one, the result was Fibroadenoma, it was non cancerous. I was told there was nothing to worry about. But by Aug this year my breast became rather tender and sore so I had another ultrasound, the doctor said it is still the same. And that was that. But for some reason I am not happy knowing I have lumps inside me and I almost have to wait to see what happens ! I am 47, my mum had a masectomy on one breast. My question is I dont know whether to go back to my GP and ask for the lumps to be removed ? But I feel I am wasting their time. regards,
Hi i can totally understand what you are saying ellemacdune. I have just received my results over the phone after having to wait a horrible two weeks for the FNA result. The nurse has called me today and said it is Benign and that i won’t have to be seen again. It’s weird… I am now left feeling really guilty that i’m not over the moon with the news, but instead wanting answers for what this lump i have is then!
Don’t get me wrong, i am really pleased it isn’t Cancer, but feel i don’t want to be left not knowing what this lump is called, or wondering if it is going to disappear or could it get bigger. etc etc.
Has anyone else been left feeling like this, after hearing the good news they were hoping for?
I think i would rather have it removed so i won’t have to worry about it being there.

Hi
I eventually went back to my GP and mentioned to her my concerns and she referred me back to the Breast Clinic. A few weeks later I got the appointment through and had a good talk to the consultant about getting it removed. I am now awaiting the appointment to come through for the operation, I am a lot happier knowing it will be out soon.
I had high blood pressure so my operation was cancelled. I now have the date of the op which is in a couple of weeks. I have to have a wire fitted(as the lump is deep)then the same day the lump removed. Its seems a big procedure as its benign, Im not sure to carry it through, or just leave the lump inside me. Has anyone had this procedure before?
