Yes, it sounds like : According to what you are saying, it sounds like you do have it. But please ask direct questions like this one to your doctor and have an open discussion as to what you have and what needs to be done in terms of further treatments. If you wish to seek an expert opinion, request consutation with an oncologist who can be either medical oncologist or a surgical oncologist. Good luck..

Yes, but...: There are different types of breast cancer, including invasive cancer and in situ cancer. Sometimes a biopsy shows "atypical" cells, which aren't cancer but imply an increased risk of developing cancer. It is important that you meet with a breast surgeon or surgical oncologist to discuss what this means and what treatment may be necessary. It can also be helpful to.Have the biopsy reviewed.
