Phyllodes tumor
Hi all
My name is hilda, 33 years old and married. My obgyn found a 2cm lump in my left breast and asked me to do usg and refer me to a breast surgeon. My bs then asked me to do a core biopsy.a week later, the result came out and it is a benign phyllodes tumor. It's said it does not show any malignancy however there is a mild nuclear atypia and metoses at 3/10. He will do partial mastectomy to remove the tumor with some margin. My surgery is within 2 weeks.
I'm really scared, because i can feel that my lump is much bigger than before. At least now the width is 4cm . My biopsy was done on 19 aug and usg was on 18 jul. my dr said it is swollen because of the biopsy. i just had my period and noticed it was bigger before my period started. Now when it stops, the lump does not get smaller.
So im thinking, did the biopsy cause the tumor grows faster? Or if it's swollen, is it normal to have that swollen 1 month after biopsy? Does anyone have similiar experience?
Thank you for reading my post.
Hilda
