Hi everyone

I'm new here and wondered if I could reach our for help? I had a very falt nipple and some discharge, and was reffered to my local breast clinic. I had a mammogram and ultrasound after which I also had a biopsy. I had two lumps, one which was a cyst and drained, the other they were unsure about hence the biopsy. I went for my results today and am really confused. The consultant said the lump isn't cancerous but that they want to remove it anyway under general anaethetic, he used a word that sounded a little like pampil/pamphil...and explained that my milk ducts would be gone and my nipple might look a little different. He left (my husband was relieved, I was confused) and a lovely nurse came in to do pre operation swabs and I asked her, and she said it was a little bit like looking at a tomato- when you put a needle in a tomato you might get a seed, pulp or skin to look at, but if you get the whole tomato you can make sure it is just a tomato or something else. So are they checking to make sure it absolutely isn't malignant or is it just good practice? It's called a Sub-Areolar Duct Excision Microdochectomy??? My husband is so happy, and telling colleagues it's good news whereas I feel very differently...Am I being a drama queen? Any advice would be really cherished xxx
