Breast cancer?

558>my mums 46 and went to have a mammagram. the results showed that she had a clusrer of benign lumps deep in her left nipple and a lump of 8mm at the 8:00 position in her right breast. is this really bad my mum has 7 children to look after. does this mean that its a more serious case of breast cancer. our doctor was really worried and spend a whole hour in her office with her even though she had a full waiting room she just told them all to stay out and wait pationtly
Reply:She could go to a breast specialist physician (look in the yellow pages) and see if she can get them aspirated (sucked out ) by a needle...benign lumps are fairly common and do not mean cancer.But you have to biopsy them to know for sure.
Reply:the Dr was telling your mom what choices she had available to her in fixing the problem =when Mom is ready ,she will tell you=right now ,she has to absorb it herself =have patience and she will let you know when the time comes okay
Reply:Try to relax until a biopsy can be preformed. Once you know what you are dealing with then you can move forward. I am sure that the doctor was just taking her time with your mom to make sure that all of her questions were answered and that she had a clear idea of what is happening.





In the mean-time, go to www.breastcancer.org and investigate for yourself what breast cancer is and treatments, etc. The more research you do the better you can tackle this thing. Information is power!





Good luck to you and your family!
