Lump on my breast, should I get a biopsy done or get it removed?

Question

I am 26. I already saw the breast specialist. He gave me those 2 options. What should I do?

Will it grow?

My mom died from breast cancer at the age of 58. So he wants to remove it, but I'm not sure what to do?? HELP! Thanks

Answer 1

get a biopsy, and if it's harmful in ANY WAY, get it removed!!!!

Answer 2

I'd recommend before undergoing surgery of any sort, get a mammogram and an ultrasound done.  Then a needle-biopsy if the lump is in a place that allows for that sort of biopsy.  THEN schedule a lumpectomy (lump removal), which is minimally invasive, and then (and ONLY then) should the pathology return from either the needle or lumpectomy tests decide on a mastectomy.

It could conceivably be a completely benign lump, but ONLY pathology will tell you for sure.  Don't go hacking off body parts until you're ABSOLUTELY sure it's necessary.

Good luck.

Answer 3
