Hiya,
Back in 2001 I had biopsy’s on 2 lumps found in my left breast and was told they were cysts. I still have those 2 lumps to this day but 8 weeks ago I found a new one after suffering with breast pain and it was just below one of my old ones. I was sent to the breast clinic where an USS revealed around 20 Fibroadenomas varying in size between 10mm and 30mm. This was a shock because i’d only felt one new one. I was then sent for an MRI which confirmed that YES they are definitely Fibroadenomas but the consultant said that one of the lumps (one of the old ones) has a couple of lobules and so they want to keep an eye on this in case it’s a Phyllodes Tumour.
I have been suffering with terrible anxiety ever since having the USS and have been feeling like I really just want the lumps removed, however the consultant said that because there are so many, this would mean having a double mastectomy. I have another MRI booked for January and so have been advised to wait until then before making any decisions I may regret.
Anyone here have the same diagnosis. Feeling extremely anxious at the moment and my doctor has put me on some medication to help. Any advice or support would be gratefully received.
