Anyone diagnosed with Phyllodes tumor?

Hello all! I’m a 53 year old female and a 2.5 cm phyllode tumor (left breast) was found early April 2026. My previous mammogram in July 2025 did not show this tumor. I had a biopsy completed and was told it to be benign. I am scheduled for a surgical consultation in June 2026. I’m feeling anxious and hoping it hasn’t grown more since April. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 60’s and remains in remission for the past 8 years. She did a genetic testing and it came back negative. I have a 25 year old daughter and I wonder if this is genetic. Should I get a genetic test? Is my daughter likely to have a phyllode tumor developed? Thank you.

@lo2026, here's a blog post that the Mayo Cancer Education team wrote that may interest you:

I might suggest talking with a genetic counsellor. Talking with the genetic counsellor can help answer your questions and help you to decide whether or not you would benefit from getting tested.

Has genetic testing been recommended for you?
