Phyllodes tumor diagnosis

Hello. So glad that I found this site. Just found out in March that I have a couple Phyllodes tumors in my left breast. Will be having a wire localized left partial mastectomy with possible mastoplexy. I was wondering if anyone out there is familiar with this diagnosis and can tell me their experience. Specifically any symptoms of pain, swelling, etc...I have been a healthy person most of my life and am still in shock that I have to have such an extensive operation.

Please write to neuwoman02@hotmail.com with any information, experiences you have had.
Peace,
Sharon
