HelloI am experiencing a ppain and a hard lump in my left beast since the past month.My mammography reports and ultrasound suggest features appear consistent with fibroadenosis left breast.Kindly let me know if I am at a risk of cancer or how should this be treated
HI. Just to sedate your worries. Cancers are never painful in the beginning stage. Fibroadenosis is never to get transformed into cancer. The best way to get disease diagnosed is FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology / Biopsy. Biopsy is of few types, and you decide which one you want to undergo;Part of the lump removed from the most suspicious area. OR- the whole lump is removed - you get two benefits-1-The painful disease is removed, and you get rid of the disease forever.2- Your Pathologist gets the whole lump - so that he can declare for sure whether you have got a cancer or not. THE ONLY problem is a scar and may be volumetric reduction in size. So it is up to you to decide. Most important is histological diagnosis. Te only sure way to know Theo diagnosis.
