In my experience, this is not uncommon.  If you had these masses biopsied, and the pathology came back as fibroadenomas, they generally leave them alone.  They VERY, VERY rarely become cancer, and they do not harm you.  A surgeon can remove them if they get large enough to cause you pain.  Once you have breast surgery, the internal scars will interfer with the radiologist's ability to accurately read your mammograms.  Fibroadenomas get smaller once a woman goes through menopause (if she is not receiving hormones).\n\nThese sites will give you more information:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007216.htm\n\nhttp://health.allrefer.com/health/fibroadenoma-breast-info.html

Ask your surgeon...or a RN at the facility where the surgery was done. \n\nThey should have given you a list of 'to-do's' and 'not-to-do's' on your discharge papers.  Have you looked at them.  This is standard policy to provide you with this...any way if you lost those papers, phone them Monday and ask them...they'll be happy to tell you.  Each person is different and they know your history...and know exactly what you had done...so their advice would be the best. This is one time you DON'T want advice from friends, or on a board like this.

From what I understand, a biopsy is the only way to 100% confirm if it is cancer or not. I have had blood work done that said my cancer returned, PET scans and CT scans that said the same, but my biopsy came back negative. In a month, they re-tested my PET and CT, and they were back to normal. Anyway, good luck with all of your testing. I hope things turn out ok.

Que paso Stacy,\n\nIm drorganico, natural health practitioner for 12 years and have dealt with several dozens cases like yours and every single one of them, when they client followed every step of the protocol that is, has been cleared up with 6 to 8 weeks of detoxing and making the right adjustments in their lifestyles.\n\nAs you said, your 30 and lots of carefree living in front of you so please get a hold of your emotions and forget the old lady analogies, lets get you back to the secure and sexy image that you know you have of yourself. This can be dealt with faster than you can imagine. However I do need to mention that lack of action on your part will make not being able to wear cute little things a very minor issue compared to other complications that will certainly come about.\n\nForget surgery and forget additional costly "toxic legal poison" known as pharmaceuticals prescribed by docs that realy dont know that there are legit, effective and economic solutions that work in harmony with your body, not against it, Ill give you some basic info and if you cant find a decent natural practitioner in your city, and you want some detailed help, contact me through yahoo, my email is listed.\n\nStacey, my business slogan is EDUCATE SO AS NOT TO MEDICATE, so bear with me while I give you some basic information so your informed and at least make informed decisions not just heresay, trendy and gossip decisions.\n\nThe fibroid tumor is a hard, benign (noncancerous) tumor that generally occurs in the uterine wall. It usually has no toxic effects on the body and causes problems only if it grows large enough to physically encroach on vital structures. If such tumors are present in the uterus as a woman approaches menopause, they may produce abnormal menstrual bleeding. \n\nAt times this bleeding can be controlled only by removing the uterus. In many cases, much less extreme and natural measures are more than satisfactory. The cause of fibroid tumors remains medicaly unproven though there are many solid theories. Researchers in my natural health field believe its due to certain trace mineral deficiencies via an imbalance of the body PH, more on that in bit. \n\nThe balance of ovarian hormones must play some part in their formation because as a woman goes through menopause, the fibroids present frequently retrogress and atrophy along with the normal shrinking of the uterus.\n\nMany tumors are in the early stages respond well to the use of certain detox protocols and trace mineral supplementation, this in combination of consuming less acid forming foods and more alkaline forming foods and the all important stress management aspect which also plays a factor in why these tumors formed in the fist place since its a know scientifica fact that un managed stress releases a large amount of unnecessary acid in your system.\n\nTo accomplish this, I recommedn certain detox herbs, supplements with natural detox agents; essential vitamins that reinforce the immune system, vegetable protein and supplementation. \n\nThis combined with spiritual reconnection therapy is effective in virtualy all cases within a time frame of 7 days to get rid of pain, 8 to 12 weeks for the enitre detox process to take hold and at about 12 weeks after the process begins get an ultrasound to confirm what you will already know and feel, the tumor has been flushed out naturaly with no drugs or toxins.\n\nNow Stacy, about one of the main root causes of your tumor, PH out of balance. Let me explain.\n\nThe body is dominated by 2 chemicals, alkaline and acid, when the acid takes over for a considerable length of time the entire cell structure and tissues are deprived of sufficient oxygen, this is called an "anaerobic enviroment" this was discovered by 2 time Nobel Prize winner in science and medicine, Dr. Otto Werberg, a German physician that won those prestigious awards in 1931 and then again 1938, he also documented that once you get the PH to get more alk

Rocky I suffered with the As*teroids for almost 20 years.\nI finally got tired of them and had the surgery.  I can honestly say I had ZERO pain!  I was in the hospital overnight because there were many..... but I wish I would have had the procedure done a long time prior!!  Believe me they will get no better without the surgery.

Just FYI Pancoast tumors aren't always cancerous.  I know someone who just had one resected, and it was found to be fibrous tissue.  No cancer.  He didn't smoke either.

You really need to talk to your surgeon if you are having post-operative problems.  You should also talk to your oncologist about your prognosis.

They said benign? That means non-cancerous. I've had two lumps removed from my right breast. Both were benign. I'm not sure about the debris. My mammogram tech has never been so detailed. Have you had a sonogram yet? If you feel it-have it removed. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.

My mother had a breast lump a few years back and at the time I read up on all these things. Young women can develop Fibroadenomas lumps, but they’re not cancerous. When you’ve had one, there’s a greater chance you’ll get another.  \n\nThis is what the internet says:\nFibroadenomas are lumps made up of fibrous and glandular tissue. They may cause discomfort and can become larger over time or if a woman becomes pregnant. \nFibroadenomas are the most common lump found in women in their 20's, although they can develop at any age.\n\nFibroadenomas are very mobile and can be pushed around easily under the skin, hence the nickname 'breast mouse'. \n\nTreatment of a fibroadenoma \nOnce confirmed that a lump is a fibroadenoma, there is no need to remove it unless a woman wishes it. If the lump does become larger or painful, or if a woman is over 30, the doctor may recommend that it be removed. The operation is simple and usually done as a day case. The lump is routinely sent to the laboratory for examination under the microscope. \n\nRemoving a fibroadenoma causes no harm to the breast and won't affect the ability to breast feed. Fibroadenomas don't grow back if completely removed but it is possible to develop another one in either breast in the future.\n\nThat's what the internet said. I’m 99% sure that’s what your new lump is and going by your past fibroadenoma history I’m even more sure. I know your mind won’t be at rest until you get it checked out at the hospital, but please don’t worry yourself sick about it. Your doctor said it was a “mobile 1cm lump”, so again that fits in exactly with what was said about the fibroadenoma (breast mouse) lump. Everything is going to be fine, you’ll get it fixed out and then you can look forward to having a great Christmas.

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

I have NF1, and have a number of neurofibromas at various places of my body.  I have had several cut out over the years but as you know, new ones will form from time to time.  Since the condition is genetic, I do not think there is an alternative medicine that can help... but I have researched high and low.  I share your stress over wishing there was a way to make the bumps go away.  Depending on if the bump is more on top of the skin or below, some have found success with laser treatment.. but regardless of how the tumor is removed there is usually a scar.  For me, every few years will have the doctor remove the largest or most visible ones.  I pray that you can still find peace in that you are of great value and worth as a person despite the imperfections.  I wish you the very best.

Fibroadenomas are benign tumors in the breast. Benign meaning that they are not cancerous. Some women are plagued with them, having recurrent problems, but they still are benign. However, you can not treat any lump as if it is benign until you confirm it. So, with each new lump, she MUST get it checked. Because she has this problem, it may mask or hide something more serious, like cancer , if she does not stay on top of it. It might help if you go with her to the doctor, for support. That way, she will keep going and stay in good health.

I have had calcification at 29, Non invasive cancer at 46, calcifications at 47 and invasive br cancer at 47. now I have one breast removed.  you just have to be aware and keep up with check ups.
