Was it only a cyst??????
Has anyone been told it is only a cyst and your gut told you to insist on biopsy and it turned out to not be a cyst .

@Mimand hope your biopsy gives you a good result.
Seems it’s not uncommon to get a bum steer. I went to the doctor in May 2021, and by September had had two ultrasounds, a mammogram and a biopsy. All were inconclusive and I was told the lump was probably the result of an old injury and would dissipate. When it was still there in December I decided to go back to (a different) doctor, who referred me to a breast surgeon “just in case”. After a lumpectomy I was diagnosed with an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, but after a mastectomy I hit the jackpot: triple negative Metaplastic carcinoma. The most aggressive form, and eight months wasted.
My advice to anyone would be just keep pushing!
