Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Vs Operation - Fibroadenoma Removal

Evening All,

I had a lump that was diagnosed as Fibroadenoma in 2006.

Didn’t realise I had to go back for frequent check ups! Anyway, went back last week (3 years later) to ask for it to be removed. Doctor sent me for a mammogram which I thought was a bit strange as I’m only 36 years old. She then said I have the option of having it removed by a vacuum assisted biopsy or an operation. Would like to ask your opinions on both procedures to help me decide which to go for.

Thanks.

Did you find out about the vacuum assisted removal? How big was the lump does that make a difference.
