Hi, I have just been diagnosed with a malignant phyllodes which they say is rare. I had a core biopsy a few weeks ago which showed some b3 tissue with possible phyllodes. They did an excision biopsy two weeks ago which confirmed it was a malignant phyllodes. I have a couple of other small lumps which they biopsied yesterday to check whether they are phyllodes or fibroadenomas as they first thought. I think if there is more than one phyllodes they will do a mastectomy and if just the one they will just take more tissue. Bit worried about it spreading so I'm thinking I would rather go for mastectomy. Find out on Friday.
