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?

  • Also waiting into triple assessment with previous history of fibroadenoma. Had a previous biopsy confirmed benign about 5 years ago. Now at age 40 my breasts both have multiple thickened areas and lumps throughout. Last month I found a different shape of lump & it's non movable & not tender so thought I'd better get it checked, Gp examined me and marked both beasts in the referral form for attention to be checked, I've my 1st appointment on the 16th in Dublin. Didn't sleep last night & trying not to let this take me over until I know more but it's reassuring to see it's so common to have these fibroadonemas and all be ok. For the rest of your I wish you the best for luck with your treatments & results

  • I had my appointment at the hospital. Luckily, everything was done in one full swop. I got a mammogram, ultrasound and consultant to do a final check in less than an hour.  Really grateful that I didn't need a biopsy, then I was discharged. 

     

    The consultant said there were no abnormalities in the breast, however, the pain is caused by pre-menopause. 

     

    Good luck and wishing you all the best of health.
