General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

A complete treatment of breast cancer (with surgery followed by radiation/chemotherapy) has very good results for a minimum of 5 years.

Still one needs to be in touch with treating doctor (as you already are) please don't be under stress.

The cyst might be a totally different entity .doctor would order for further investigations, in case of the doubtful condition.

Follow your routine. Be on guard for any health changes in diet, weight loss, swelling, causeless fever.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
