UPDATE :NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING

libra79

Hello I got my biopsy results back today it says that one mass is fibroadenoma and the other has fibroadenomatoid changes I know that the they are tumors and benign but is there a chance that some where down the line I could have BC.

If anyone knows anything about it I will greatly appreciate it. Thnks

No, those do not turn into cancer. They stay benign.

Melissadallas thnk u once again will be checking out this site

also do u think its ok for me to get a second opinion

It's always fine if you think you need one.

Your doctor didn't think it looked very concerning & your results agreed with his assessment. Pain near armpit is pretty classic for fibrocystic breasts & 60% of women have them.

I'm not much of a worrier, so I'd just be happy with the results & get on with my life, but that's just me.

It's always OK to get a Second Opinion if you need one. In fact if you are even thinking about getting one, you probably should for your peace of mind. I never gave it a thought so didn't.

I have no input on fibrocystic issues as I've never dealt with it and Melissa Dallas has given you good info.
