Hi Sara, it sounds like they were able to remove the non-cancerous tumour with a clear margin. That’s good. Phyllodes tumors aren’t usually cancerous. But whether cancerous or not, your doctor will likely work out a follow-up schedule with you to monitor to check for possible regrowth.

Did your doctor talk to you about follow up with regular breast exams, mammograms, ultrasounds, and possibly MRIs?
