Anika Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Anika Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer, discovered a small, rubbery lump in her right breast during a routine self-exam. As someone with no family history of breast cancer, she was still anxious. Her primary care physician referred her for an ultrasound, which confirmed a 1.5 cm fibroadenoma. The surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that while it was almost certainly benign, excision was recommended due to its size and Anika's persistent anxiety about it. The procedure was done under local anesthesia. Anika was awake but comfortable, listening to music through her headphones. The 45-minute surgery went smoothly. Recovery involved mild soreness managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. The biopsy confirmed a benign fibroadenoma. Emotionally, Anika moved from a state of constant, low-grade worry, checking the lump daily, to immense relief. Having the tangible mass gone and the official benign report allowed her to finally stop fixating on it, restoring her peace of mind and body confidence.
