I've had 5 seperate surgery's with a total of 8 biopsy area's in 3 years,always in the left breast. All have come back bengin ( thankfully!!). My last biopsy was almost 3 months ago,now I have a lump and a large thickening in the right breast. This time I am opting for the bilateral mast. My surgeon conserned that my insurance wont cover both breasts (b/s I was not diagnosed with cancer) So while we are waiting for the ins. he wants to biopsy the right breast now! My mom had premenopausal breast cancer at the age of 33. I am almost 33. Other family members have also had BC on my mothers side. I dont have a lump under either arm, is this a sign that this time it is also bengin? Can cancer show up that quickly? Should I be worried? Is it safe to put off the surgery until the ins. co. resonds? ( my surgeon doest think that I should wait) What could happen if I do?? Sorry so many questions and that its so long. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance. cherry
