Surgical Pathology Report

I am 42, had a hysterectomy 3 months due to a rare tumor (I can't recall the name). I had a breast biopsy/excision 3 weeks ago due to an abnormality on my mammogram. Pathological Diagnosis: benign breast tissue with nodular focus of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia and fibrosis (this mass measured 4.5x4.4x1.5cm, this had a well-circumscribed tan soft mass within which measured 1.1x0.7x0.5 grossly). Two others were also removed which were benign fatty tissue (these were 6.7x3.4x1 cm and 4x2x1 cm no lesion grossly suspicious is identified).

Can I assume I have nothing to worry about in the future since it was benign. A friend said that this puts me at high risk for future cancer due to the hyperplasia.

What is your opinion. I don't see the surgeon for follow-up for another week to ask her and I'm impatient.
