    I had both and to be honest,
    I had both and to be honest, I didn't think they were any big deal (pain-wise.) As for the psychological effects, that was a whole new can of worms! Remember, everyone is different, so what affects me might not affect you.

    Good Luck. I will be holding you in my thoughts and prayers.

    UPDATE on biopsy results
    One biopsy came back clear. One came back and I need to have a surgical biopsy (lumpectomy) on the other. MORE WAITING! They said it could be a Phyllodes tumor, but they are not sure yet. I am now in the process of getting a second opinion for both biopsies, and hope to have this surgery scheduled soon! The first surgeon that I talked to before the biopsies, was a general surgeon. I'd rather go to a breast surgeon to have the surgery.

    The plot thickens because we are suppose to be going on a Caribbean vacation in 7 days. Not sure if I should wait to have the surgery until after vacation, or should I cancel the vacation. (We don't have trip insurance.) I am so confused!

    Hi, I was in your exact
    Hi, I was in your exact position just last summer. I was scheduled to go on vacation in a week, when my doctor found at my regular 6 month check ups another suspicious tumor. (I had already had 2 previous suspicious tumors removed, one being a phyllodes). I deciced to schedule my lumpectomy for 2 days after I returned from vacation. Turns out this tumor was indeed another phyllodes tumor (benign). It is really up to you whether you will be able to enjoy the vacation or be worried the entire time. My doctor told me that the week would not make much of any difference, but all doctors have different opinions. Best of luck!
