Anyone diagnosed with Phyllodes tumor?

I had 2 lumps that were found in my breast and both were initially thought to be fibroadenomas and were benign. I requested to monitor them and my doctor agreed. We monitored these lumps for approx 2 years. One of the lumps started growing and my doctor and I agreed to remove both lumps. One lump was confirmed as a benign fibroadenoma. The other lump has been confirmed as a benign phyllodes tumor.
I’m trying to learn more about phyllodes tumors and understand what is to come next as I wait for my dr followup.
There’s definitely a lot to learn and I hope I will learn from this group as well.

Hi @ash2021, it must be both a relief that the lump was benign, but also worrisome that it was determined one was a benign phyllodes tumor. I'm tagging @johnsoncs1 @ssinkey @marvinjjc @cheddar @sarapusc @michelle0509 to bring them back in the discussion to join me in welcoming you.

Ash, when is your follow up with your doctor? Has further monitoring been recommended?
