A couple years ago I was diagnosed with a benign tumor in my right breast. I had it removed and unfortunately it has grown back. The doctor said I was fine and that the benign was not growing so there would be no reason to get it removed and just keep an eye on it, since it is not causing any pain or growing (I would say probably no bigger than 2cm) . My questions is; could I still get breast implants? Would I have to get it removed first, or could I get breast implants with my tumor?
