3mm cyst left breast

3mm cyst left breast

I was told that I have a 3mm cyst in left breast. I had ovarian cancer stage 1c 2 years ago. I am a liitle worried about having a cyst in my breast since I had a hysterectomy and I was under the impression that when you menstruate cysts come and go. Since I am 52 years old and do not menstruate anymore I am worried that this cyst will grow. Could this cyst be removed? Do I have anything to worry about?  Please let me know
Thanks

Dear Astrik:  A cyst is a fluid filled structure and is, by definition, benign.  If they are painful, they can be aspirated but 3 mm is likely too small to aspirate.  Assuming that the imaging has confirmed that this is a cyst, there is no reason to worry.  However, if you are concerned, you should discuss this with your doctor.
