Hey cheryld.I had 30 taken on the left,so 3/30 were cancerous.I had a needle biopsy on the lump on my right.it was found to be cancerous but I found it early.after treatment the lump had shrinked & I could still feel a smaller lump which was just leftover scar tissue.but it played on my mind until it completely dissapeared,which from memory took about a month (roughly) after my treatment finished.all the best.
