Maryann,
I've had cysts that were benign and then I've had cysts that were surrounded by cancer.
I'd say, why not do the gene test, why not get second opinions from another top bc doctor and a radiologist and why not get retested earlier than 6 months.
I had a similar story. after my first bout with cancer I had a cyst - everyone thought it was cancer but when it was removed apparently it wasn't. got another cyst same spot, this time everyone said it's a cyst wait 6 months. i was too nervous and told them it was growing (after about 3 months) so they did the tests, they still thought only a cyst but after the surgery they discovered it (or around it) was cancer and it was now outside the breast and invasive.
However that said, when I was her age, I had lumpy breasts and no cancer at that time.
Has anyone thought of doing a biopsy?
Good luck to you and to her. Hope it's just a cyst and she and you can relax.
stay healthy and happy
sarah
