Hello I’m 27 and I was diagnosed 5 years ago with a fibroadenoma in my left breast. Throughout the years it has become extremely painful and after a check up over the summer I was advised to get it removed. My surgery is in three weeks time and I’m finding myself becoming more and more anxious.
I don’t know what to expect and I’m scared. I already have reconstruction surgery done in that breast which was hard enough on me 8 years ago so I’m terrified about getting this surgery. I’ve small breasts as it is and I’ve read online you can be left with a hole in your breast and it’s better to leave them in because they can just grow back anyway.
I’m finding myself worrying about it.
Has anyone got any experience of the removal of these lumps? I was really appreciate some advice.
Thank you x
