  Benign and breast cancer are conflicting statements I believe. Benighn lumps are not cancer..Breast cancer will not go away on its own.

  The term 'benign' refers to a non cancerous tumor. It is a lump or a tumor that has not yet developed into cancer or an inactive form of cancer. So you can't really have benign breast cancer. Has that been told to you officially from a doctor? If that's the case then that's not the right person...

  I hate to hear of a woman living under these thoughts and waiting for the other shoe to drop. What I would do is ask for an MRI. They can find the very tiniest of breast cancers that way. I --wish-- I would have asked for.... or demanded to have an MRI when they could not get a clear mammogram of my breast 7 months before I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The dread is finding breast cancer... but you would be amazed how that dread turns into "thank God, they found a tiny breast cancer at the very earliest stage."
  Just my thoughts in 20/20 hind-sight. Take care, Sharon

  Yay for a benign find!! Don't let it make you slack, however. Keep checking yourself and always, always have lumps checked out. I had a benign at 28 and a malignant at 52. Not saying you will of course, not at all... but just saying - always get your mammos and always get lumps...

  Congrats on the results!

  It means pretty much just that. Usually cancers have blood flows because that is how they are nourished to grow. You NEED to contact your doctor for a definite meaning in your specific case. Take care, Sharon

  Ask your doctors all of the questions you can think of. Write them down and take the list to your appt. if they don't answer them in a way you can understand or don't want to spend the time them get another doctor!

  Absolutely have this checked. My breast where breast cancer was found felt "weird." This is NOT to say you have breast cancer at all. For your own peace of mind have this checked. Take care, Sharon

  Cancer can be sneaky...have it checked out soon. I couldn't even feel my cancer and it was found on a mammogram. Keep us updated and prayers for you.

  Here is one site I found. It is quite rare. I don't know what testing you have had done but you probably be referred to more testing. Take care, Sharon
