Hello,
I am a 40 year old woman.Mother of 2 children . I ha undergone left breast lump excision(upper quadrant) surgery in 2003 and fibro adenosis was the biopsy result then. After 4 years another lump felt 3’ clock position with constant pain irrespective of menstrual cycle. My surgeon did ultrasound scan for every 3 month., Since the lymph nodes are enlarged she did an FNAC in 2008 and the result again fibroadenosis. So i was relaxed and didn’t go to surgeon for 2 years even though the l felt slight pain in the lump now and then irrespective of cycle. In 2010 again I went to the surgeon due to constant pain in the lump which was increased in size and she immediately did FNAC followed by segmental excision
Biopsy result is as follows –Cut section(6x4cm)shows yellowish and whitish appearance. Section shows breast tissue with cystically dialated ducts with epithelial proliferation,apocrine metaplasia and lobular hyperplasia in a fibrous stroma.
Surgeon suggested 3 month follow up.But just right after my surgery I felt a shooting pain in my right breast upper quadrant and after 8 months surgeon advised to me go through another surgery to remove the newly formed lump.Surgeon says it is better to remove the area than waiting it to turn malignant.I went to an oncologist for a second opinion and he did an ultrasound scan reveal
Fattty breast with fibroglandular breast parenchyma upper outer quadrant
Two 1mm each hypoechoic area upper outer quadran right breast( I see it like 2 tiny mercury drops)
3-4 lympgh node axilla with fatty hilum
And the oncologist says there is no point(no use) doing the surgery for safety and suggests another ultrasound after 3 month. I am feeling constant pain(slight) in that lump area and feeling pain in my armpit and neck area too.If it is cancer will it spread so fast?I am very confused about what to follow.Should I follow the surgeon (who knows my breast condition for more than 5 years) or the new oncologist?Please give an opinion about this . Sorry for being so elaborate but without the correct history it is difficult to give an opinion.
Regards
Janu.
