Hi everyone,

I'm really sorry, I don't know where else to ask. Everyone is so brave on here.

I haven't been diagnosed with cancer but i was diagnosed with benign fibroadenoma.

I found a lump in my right breast and it was sore and after the consultation they found so many more in both. So after having a consultation and ultrasound I was told I have multiple fibroadenomas in each breast. I wasn't 25 at the time but i was a few weeks away from my birthday which was why they refused to remove it. I was on my own and didn't understand much and overwhelmed as at the time. I was also trying to explain my new name and doctors weren't fully happy when i said i was transgender. They were quite helpful but overstretched and usher out quickly, understadably.

I was contacted by a nurse who talked about my results and told me i could decide for removal but strongly discouraged me into having the proceedure because of scaring and more about waiting times etc but a specialist said i should get it removed during my initial consultation. I wasn't doing well mentally and i didn't feel like she had enough time to answer my questions or didn't understand my question but i said i wouldn't have the surgery. It's been a year now and it feels more uncomfortable. I really want to get rid of them because it's giving me anxiety. 

I'm transgender non binary. I really want top surgery and i don't want to risk myself not being able to have surgery and unneccesary scaring. I just wanted to know of anyone’s experiences on fibroadenoma removal? are there any other trans people with this diagnosis? Thank you for any info or advice. I'm really sorry, if this is insensitive to cancer patients.
