Question : I had a large fatty tumor in my right breast, which was removed along with 3 large lymph glands under my right arm. I was told that these lymph glands and the tumor were benign. I also have glands swollen under each side of my neck. Can you still have cancer of some kind if your other tests come back benign?

Brief Answer:
Hello. There is no possibility of cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So if the tumor has been labelled as benign by a pathologist on histopath examination, this should be taken as final verdict and there is no possibility of tumor.
Thanks and regards
