Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Even if this is cancer,it will not spread in such short time. much longer is needed for tumor growth. but if there is no phd confirmation of tumor then you shouldnt hurry with chemotherapy. you need to repeat needled aspirations and MRI breast to see is it suspicious for maliganncy.
Wish you good health. Regards.
