Hi,
It could be ebnign - size would not determine whether it is malignant or benign. But, nothing can be said with surety without a definite diagnosis.
What has your doctor suggested?
Will a biopsy be done? A biopsy will help in raeching a confirmed diagnosis and to rule out malignancy.
Could you post us the exact mammogram and ultrasound report here?
Let us know about what your doctor has advised and post us about how you are doing.
Regards.
I had a breast exam yesterday which revealed no lumps. There are no changes in my breasts, nipples, no lump. Could this be 4 cm and not be cancer? Is it a good sign that the radiologist stated that the lymph node had a fatty center which I guess is normal looking except for size? Should I be really alarmed? Could it be lymphoma?
Hi,
Because you mention the past history of surgery in the specific area - this could also be scar tissue or fat necrosis.
This could also be enlarged due to shaving, waxing, using a new deodorant, etc.
You should try some pain relief medications and warm comprsesses and see if it helps with your symptoms.
Have you noticed any abnormal features like a breast lump, skin changes or nipple discharge?
It would be advisable to get a clinical examination done by a breast specialist for a confirmed diagnosis.
Post us about how you are doing and if you have any doubts.
Regards.
