My doctor had given me a 90% chance of breast cancer due to the abnormal ultrasound of the RIGHT breast: mishapen, blurred edges, no defined lines. A core biopsy showed no malignancy, but a fibroendenoma. According to my doctor, this is quite rare to have a benign tumor that looks like this. I am having surgery in two weeks to have it removed, a surgical biopsy. I'm sure they will run more tests just to make sure.
However, tonight I noticed a brown, sticky discharge from one duct on my LEFT breast. I have always been able to secrete liquid from both my nipples if squeezed, usually whitish-yellowish. But never have I had anything like this come out. An ultrasound was done on both breasts, and what my doctor believes is a small cyst in my left breast was found: less than 1 cm, slightly oval and very defined edges. I've never felt anything in the left breast, no lump, no tenderness, nothing.
SO, my question now is two-fold: what could this be... a missed cancer? An infection? And should I call my doctor as soon as possible or wait until Friday when I go in for pre-op testing and instructions? Given what I've been through the past month, I can't help but feel skittish, and my gut is saying call now now NOW!
