Similar signs and symptoms

First off I would like to state that I am obviously new to this site and I am not female. Im also trying to gather as much info as possible from community because I am very concerned and worried about the possibility that my future wife may have some form of breast cancer. About a month ago we noticed that the size of her left breast increased. Along with that came discharge from her nipple and pain. Sometimes clear others had almost a greenish tint to them. I finally convinced her to get a mammo done and they found a mass in her breast estimated to be the size of a kiwi but possible larger due to the density of her breast. Upon meeting with the breast surgeon pre biopsy another lump was found in her left armpit and her lymph nodes were swollen. During the needle biopsy the US tech found a third lump slightly smaller than the original in her her breast. I seem to be slightly more concerned than she is at the moment. Been an emotional wreck trying to seek out answers before the test results come back. The last time she had her blood drawn they noticed an unusual increase in her white blood cell count approx. A month before the swelling of her breast started. I guess im trying to see if anyone here has had similar experiences and what the outcome of the findings were. Any info would be helpful and i thank you!

Concerned-

We can certainly understand your concern and worry over what's going on with your fiance. It can be very, very scary. It's good you convinced her to get a mammogram, and that a biopsy was done, as that will give you both the answers you're looking for. It's important to remember that the majority of breast lumps do turn out to be benign, so try not to focus on the bad. Hopefully the biopsy results come back quickly and with favorable news, and you both can move on from this and focus on other, happier things! Please keep us posted on the results of the biopsy, we'll keep you both in our thoughts!

So got the results back and they came back negative. The first mass they saw was a tumor but its benign so they will check back in six months. The other two were caused by something called fibrocystic breast tissue i believe is what its called. Im terrible with these names.
