Phyllodes tumour in both breasts

Please lovely people could you give me some advice. At the age of 15 my daughter was diagnosed with a benign phyllodes tumour which was removed. The consultant had said she had never seen one on someone so young. Now four years later, a biopsy has revealed another one in her other breast. She will have this removed soon as well. I am considered that what if she keeps having them and keeps on having to have more removed! We have no idea why or what could be causing them but she is also cycical vomiting twice a month and is on medication for a under active thyroid. Each time lumps have  grown very big but each time the consultant said it was only a fibroadenoma but have been wrong twice now! 

They said they can't keep taking lumps out but obviously with PTs have too. 

I am so worried they may have missed something simple like a hormonal imbalance. Who can we get to look into this ? Any advice would  be with so gratefully recieved.

    I'm sorry to hear that after your daughter had a beginning tumour removed, a biopsy has revealed that another one appeared in her breast now.

    And while I understand why you're so concerned, try to take heart from what the consultant said as far as them being simply fibroadenomas.

    Hopefully, others who're in a similar position will be here shortly with words of advice and support.

    With best wishes to you both,
