Thank you for including me. :)
Hello everyone. :)
This is all very new and I'm feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. I am 43 and have three children (8, 6 & 3). I have had multiple fibroadenomas for many years, the first diagnosed when I was around 17/18. Most of those reduced in size during my pregnancies and breast feeding. A new one popped up last year and was diagnosed as another fibroadenoma but has grown steadily since then and now feels quite different to the others.
Just this afternoon I saw my GP for a report on the mammogram and core biopsies taken at the end of last week. That biopsy confirms PT, which I had never heard of until a few days ago. One 4.2cm benign to borderline PT. I have been referred to a specialist at a private clinic in Nambour, since I live near Noosa.
I look forward to reading your stories and sharing our thoughts on this current journey.
Oh...one 'little' question...Is it "cancer"? If the tumor is benign, is it still cancer?
