What Causes Recurring Lumps In Breast With History Of Lymphoma Cancer?
Question: I'm a little bit concerned about a situation and not sure what to do. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Lymfoma Cancer. the lump was in my thyroid and it was removed. I had radiation and after treatment clear of cancer. In October 2014 I discovered a lump in my breat right nehind the nipple. I went to see a specialist who did a biopsy and the results was clear. My nipple is very dry and itchy. They didnt remove the lump. This morning I felt another small lump next to the first one. What must I do? Go for tests? Im just very scared with my history, but dont want it to look like I'm overreacting.
Brief Answer:
Ask for definitive tests, you are certainly not overreacting.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the history provided by you and understood your concerns.
To recapitulate: Female/38 - Lymphoma cancer in thyroid (rare) and underwent operation and irradiation in 2004 - now clear of cancer - Oct 14 lump in breast behind the nipple - not cancer on biopsy (I think FNAC) - nipple is dry and itchy - small lump detected today next to the first one - What to do - scared - not look to be overreacting...
I can understand the plight one goes through when you know you had it (cancer survivor) and now your have the lumps in the breast, behind the nipple which is dry and itchy.
You are surely not overreacting at all, believe me.
In fact with the present history related to the breast, I would certainly go for all the relevant tests ASAP.
Please go for it, after all our field is evidence based. So ask for a definitive diagnosis.
Wishing you all the best.
Do not worry till you get the results unnecessarily.
I hope his discussion helps you, please feel free to ask any further relevant queries or if you feel that there is a gap-of communication.
