Fibroadenoma turned out to be cancer?

Just had a biopsy which was really painful as I have breast implants and they struggled to get it. They were confident it’s just a fibroadenoma but I’m still stressing. Has anyone been told it’s just a fibroadenoma and it turned out to be malignant?

    Hi, please dont worry until you know for sure. In my case I was told I had cancer. I had a mastectomy and now I find I didn't have cancer it was a fibroadenoma. I have lost my breast and my nipple and the lump was tiny, near my skin and well away from my nipple. My advice is always get a second opinion or a third if you feel you need it.
