No there is no way at present to reduce it with medicine. If it worries you it would be best to have the mass removed from your breast surgically. After that have regular (once per year) check ups with mammography, ultrasound & MRI breast scans and needle biopsies of any seen lesions. If that is done you can most probably feel rather secure!
