Hello ma'am and welcome.

There appears to be a benign growth in your breasts (very commonly seen nowadays in women) which is harmless (even my wife had and still has some). They grow to a certain size and thens top growing, are in no way related to cancer and usually are also very mobile. Most women who decide not to operate them (As they are asymptomatic) have also reported a regression around and after menopause. As you are 42 years, fibroadenosis shall not be a problem for you either.

I would either way recommend a needle-core biopsy if required, but nothing other than this. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
