Does multiple tumors in one breast increase the chance of them being cancerous?!


Question: Does multiple tumors in one breast increase the chance of them being cancerous?
Im 17 years old and a week ago I had surgery to remove 1 tumor in my breast, and while they were getting that one out they found another one, which they then also removed..does this mean anything significant? I had an ultrasound a month before that showed only one. confused!

Answers:

It is rare for breast cancer to occur in someone so young.

It is uncommon for breast cancer to present as multiple tumours in the same breast at the same time.

On probabilities, this is unlikely to be breast cancer but you will only know for sure when you get biopsy results. This is why your Dr has not given you a confirmed diagnosis as yet.



Does breast cancer run in your family? If so I would have concerns but if not your 17 y/o and its probably nothing. I get lumps all the time. Been checked and told its from hormones. Why do a lot of young people with no family history get a cold and automatically think they have a rare disease?



these are questions for your doctor but no ultra sound is totally accurate.
That second tumor may have been hiding behind the first one.
You need to make a list of questions for your doctor as only he knows what kind of tumors these were.
