question: i have had a lumpectomy of the breast as I had been diagnosed with a fibroid and this grew considerably.  Phyllodes tumor has been mentioned but not confirmed.  I am 50.  I have developed recently back pain, there contunuously and have started to get pains in my joints and have developed forgetfulness and can get confused.  I am really worried that the phyllodes I may have is malignant and already spread.  I have 2 young children and am petrified.  I have to wait until next Weds for the results of the operation is there any information or assurances you can give me.
