I have had a lump for 3 years, biopsy confirmed fibrodonema, fast forward, 6 months ago it grew in size and very painful, I had another biopsy, I was called in for results 2 weeks later which they said there had been some changes and can't be sure if it's a phylloid and turning malignant, I was told to go home and immediately isolate for surgery on the 18th, I have had the surgery, came home yesterday.

On paper it says b3 excision.. What does this mean?

They removed the 33mm lump, they cut me under the side of the breast and pulled tissue from my side to replace the gap.

It was extremely painful, I had 3 severe panic attacks in recovery because the pain was so bad, I was sick and caused the attacks.

I am going back to see the surgeon on Monday to check the wound.

They are testing the whole lump and results will take 2 - 3 weeks. 

I'm left feeling confused now, is it cancer? Would they have been able to tell from the surgery? What does B3 mean? Do they know more than I do at this stage. I am on 32 years, I would rather know than not know.
