Someone just had a lump removed. It was, however, surrounded by
smaller cysts filled with fluid that weren't on the mammogram two
years previous. Could those harbor cancer cells waiting to divide and
become tumors? Would it be better now to have complete radiation

Mucinous (or colloid) cancer of the breast
About 2 in 100 breast cancers (2%) are mucinous breast cancers. This cancer tends
to be slower growing than other types of breast cancers and is less likely to spread
to the lymph nodes.
Doctors usually treat mucinous cancers in the same way as other types of breast
cancer - with surgery. If the tumour is smaller than 1 cm, you may not need your
lymph nodes removed. The outlook for mucinous breast cancer is generally very
good. Further treatment is often not needed after the surgery. "
Sounds like a good type to have.
