Is it most likely still a fibroadenoma?

Hi, Ive just joined. Not sure if this is how to make a post. Ive got a long story so here goes and apologies in advance but I really need some advise if anyone can:

Ive got two lumps on my left breast, one large one smaller and they feel like they might be attached. I went to my GP last year in Feb time I got checked. A biopsy was taken. The results camr back abnormal cells. So I was given a quick appointment to get another more invasive biopsy? They said the end results was a fibroadenoma. However I felt that the lump was growing. Went back to GP then breast clinic. The specialist was very rude and didnt think it had grown just because I felt it had. Anyway I got scanned again it had almost doubled in size in a few months. They lady who scanned it said I will need it removed, she also made the comment "I dont want to say it is but by the shape and way its growing it looks malignant" I phone up weeks after for an update only to find out my consultant hadnt seen my results as they were lost... Next day I received a phone call to be booked in for a pre op urgently. Ive since had a letter apologising that my operation wasnt arranged in the 12 week frame as advised previously because of covid.

I dont know if Im paranoid but I feel the lump had grown more and the shape is all lumpy and uneven, can even see how uneven the shape is through my skin.

When the GP last saw the lump she started panicking and asking how long its been this size and shape. Im getting wide local excision surgery and the booklet I received only talks about breast cancer, possible removal of lymph nodes and nipple depending on where lump is located.

Is there any way these lumps could be cancer? Can you have two cancerous lumps in the same place with feel attached? Or are they fibroadenoma's like concluded after 3 biopsies and multiple scans? 

 

Again sorry for the long post and please ignore my spelling. Thank you. Nadine x

    It's encouraging that the biopsies showed fibroadenoma and they can certainly sometimes grow to a very large size, needing surgery to remove them.

    It's hard for anyone though at this moment to be able to say what this may be , as it could be one large fibroadenoma or there may be a possibility of cancer - it's just not possible to second guess- the only way you'll know is by having the lumps removed and for them to be looked at in the laboratory. 

    It's really hard waiting for surgery and tests to come back, but there's nothing for it other than the wait. Try and not look too far ahead and keep busy

    I hope it won't be too long before you know a little more

    All the best
