Info. please...Does anyone know how colloid carcinoma's start? Someone
just had a breastlump removed. It was, however, surrounded by smaller
cysts filled with fluid that weren't on the mammogram two years
previous. Could those harbor cancer cells waiting to divide and become
tumors? Would it be better now to have complete radiation on that side
to be sure instead of a localized dose via a mammostat (tube) directly
into the hole where the tumor was taken out? Decisions need to be made
quickly. There are also spots of calcium on the other side that look
like just calcium but might be biopsied. Hard to know the best
course...Please respond to:   mag@sover.net

Breats cysts are a dime a million, yet cancer in breast cysts is extremely
rare.  It is also usually of a papillary type so that this has no relevance
to present treatment.

Discuss this with your oncologists.
