Could fibrocystic changes or a cyst on your breast be cancer when your doctor said that most likely it was not?

In: Women's Health, Cancer, Breast Cancer [Edit categories]

Answer:

Chances of Cancer

It is always possible for fibrosystic changes or a cyst to be cancerous. For peace of mind, ask your doctor to biopsy. THAT IS the only way to be sure. If you have a CYST it should checked out and may be removed.

You should always get a second opinion with something serious like cysts or the possibility of cancer.
