QUESTION: I have attached more of the path report stripping out personal information. Thank you again

Ilene
Thank you! It seems to be a low grade phyllodes tumor so with a low risk of coming back. The histological picture of your milk glands is somewhat disturbing. You probably have a somewhat increased risk of breast cancer. I suggest regular 6 month check ups with mammography, ultrasound AND MRI breast scans and at least needle biopsies of anything unclear that is seen. Good luck!
