What is the difference between Breast Cancer and Breast Cyst?
I have known for a while that I have 3 cyst in my breast. But I don’t know if its some type of breast cancer or what. I have done some research and I come up with nothing. I know I need to go back to the doctor, but I just don’t want to be told I have breast cancer. I’m only 21, married and have the most beautiful daughter in world. I know if it is really serious like breast cancer everyone will treat me different. I wont tell them but I know my hubby will.
So help me out ppl. What is the difference between breast cancer and breast cyst.
Thanks everyone!!!

Cancer can spread. Cysts cannot. Best bet would be to confirm with your doctor.

A cyst is non-cancerous and won’t continue to grow or inflict harm on you and your health.

a cyst is just a sac of fluid that may or may not cause harm. cancer is a lot more serious. as a mother.. i would definitely get it checked out. the earlier the better. think about your daughter.. she needs you to be healthy.

A cyst is just a sac of fluid (often caused by a blocked duct) which you may even have been born with as a genetic “deformity”, whereas breast cancer is an horrendous disease caused by mutated cells multiplying out of control. One is a serious bother, the other, not so much!
Quit worrying. It isn’t good for you…
But stay vigilant!
