yea they should have tested it so see whether it was malignant or not, if it was u would need post op treatment, and if it wasnt u wouldnt, im guessing?
I'm not quite clear about what you are asking .... first of all I don't understand having a breast lump for over a year before having it ck.d out and treated. You mention infection and infection isn't a part of breast cancer ..... what exactly was this lump ?? Was it a cyst or Fibroadenoma ?? Has some form of treatment been recommended and what were the results of the Pathology report on this "lump" ?? Without more concise information I can't give you an answer at this time. Thanks ......
