Hi it was one year and two months since I had a operation to have two breast lumps in my right breast removed at the same time as one was benign and the other lump next to it was a benign Phyllodes tumour about a week or so ago I found a lump in my left breast this time and went and had it checked yesterday which I had to have a biopsy as the lump is identical to the last lumps I had before I knew it could return back in the same breast but I didn’t know you could get it again but in the other breast I’ve read up on it that it’s more common in women to get it between the age 40-50 as I’m only 26 and the first time I had it I was 25 if you got any advice or help that would be much appreciated thank you 
Hi Beth27
I don't have any knowledge of Phyllodes tumours but it sounds like very good news that in your right breast they were benign. Not nice at all that you had these and the operation, but thankfully they weren't cancerous.
Let's sincerely hope that the biopsy shows that this new lump in your left breast isn't cancerous either - and what would be even better if it were to be a harmless cyst! However, I can imagine that it isn't that strange to present in the other breast as breasts are 'the same item' and the body of the person is the same too. Unusually when I was diagnosed with cancer in just the one breast, I actually had 2 different forms, I had an oestrogen positive breast cancer grade 2 and then oestrogen negative DCIS grade 3 (which for want of a better description is abnormal cells which can turn into cancer). So, to have something similar in your other breast is probably more likely than having 2 different types of instances in the same breast.
The only advice I can offer is really to just try and think positive. The waiting for the results of your biopsy is the worst time and once you know what you are dealing with, as you know, things are a little easier.
Fingers crossed that it really turns out to be either (a) nothing or (b) benign as previously - although obviously (b) isn't fab because you'll still have to have it removed, I guess and any operation is not a good thing!
Kindest Wishes, Lesley
