Brief Answer:
Explain your symptoms elaborately

Detailed Answer:
Dear Nasiba,

I have gone through your report.

The report does show a tumour of 2.5 cms size in the left breast. From its description, it appears to be Fibroadenoma. The other four nodules in the same breast of very small size also seem to be Fibroadenoma.

In the right breast also, there is a small nodule of 4-5 mm size. This also has been reported to be Fibroadenoma which has undergone calcified degeneration.

Fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous variety of tumour. So you need not worry about the cancer in the breasts. However, if you want further confirmation, you may ask your surgeon regarding the necessity of biopsy of these tumours. Prima facae, I do not see the need for biopsy. If you get the biopsy done for histopathology, please upload the report for my review.

For any more information or advice, I am always available for you, Nasiba.
