6 months ago I had a cyst aspirated and it came back with atypical cells in the fluid. They did nothing but told me to follow up in 6 months with another mammogram. At this exam it was determined that the cyst has filled back up again and I had some calcifications in the same area as the cyst. The doctor made a recommendation for me to see a surgeon. The surgeon said she wanted to perform a mammatome to remove the calcifications and biopsy them before removing the cyst. During the mammotome the surgeon removed 10 pieces or ribbons of matterial out of my breast. She also said she obtained a sample of the original cyst in question. All the pathology came back benign, however, I have a hemmatoma from the procedure. My question to you is, if this surgeon ruptured the cyst with the atypical fluid in it, could this be a problem? I asked her that question today on my check up and she said "It shouldn't, cancer doesn't spread that way." I'm just not satisfied with "It shouldn't!" Please respond ?
I agree with your doctor. However, I suggest you seek a second opinion if you are not satisfied.
Hi there, it looks like it's been awhile since you last posted. Did you ever find out if that was okay? I know that cancer doesn't spread that way but I know that you were pretty upset by that answer as well. What did you find out?
