anyone heard of fibroadenoma before ? a breast lump about a pea size in one side or both...

They are most common in young women in their twenties and thirties, but they may occur at any age..

anyone had this health issue before ? care to share your experience ...is surgery is necessary to remove the lump?

which hospital is that...i was diagnosed with this as well..but no sample taken..doctor ask me to do surgery to remove it..surgery is nx week.....he said after removed ony the sample will be sent to test to rule out breast cancer...really scarry though...

thank you.... im really hoping its not something bad ..

thanks for the prayers...really glad to hear that...

im in Selangor...the hospital im going is SJMC...20 years ago..dats long..glad it was just a benign..can i ask few things..did the lump came back at same place or the other ? do u need to go for further checkups like doin ultrasound for few months once ?

how was the scar of the surgery...will it fade over time and how long did u take to recover back ?

during my ultrasound another lump found on the right hand side but very small and not detectable by hand so no removal is required now...but im scared if it will grow larger but for now i really need to confirmed its not cancer..im 27 years old...and also a rheumatoid arthiritis patient for the past 2 years...stil on medication... wonder y so many health problem keep coming...i was healthy ever after for the past 25 years....no family history of any kind of sickness.....

Its Dr. Samuel Tay...Breast Surgeon..everything was quick..lump detected 2 weeks ago...last friday went hosp-> ultrasound-> suggest to removed, surgery supposed to be yesterday but i postponed..i need time to consider it and to be prepared mentally..i nvr been for surgery before this...

whats epo...

thank you for sharing...i feel better now and more ready for the surgery..hope all goes well...
