Probable fibroadenomas - next steps?

Hey guys - earlier this week I went to get a lump checked out, and the ultrasound revealed that I had three tumors in my left breast. I'm in the process of trying to set up a biopsy, but the FNA results just came back benign (from the biggest tumor).

What are the next steps here? Should I still have a biopsy? Is it possible that one tumor might be benign and the others malignant, or that the FNA results aren't accurate? Should I also get my right breast checked out?

Thanks, everyone - I've got a family history of breast/ovarian/uterine cancer, so I really want to make sure my bases are covered.

    Hi there - I went through a similar process back in July. What is your doctor suggesting? My radiologist recommended a core biopsy for a probable fibroadenoma because he couldn't rule out another type of benign lesion from the imaging alone. My BI-RADS score was 4, so I followed up with a core biopsy. Please let me know how things are going for you.
