Hi Janet,

I am so sorry you are facing this new scare! Yes it happens, sometimes, but there's also a good chance that this could be benign. Ask the doc to do an Ultrasound or even an MRI, and if they think it's iffy, have them do a biopsy.

My rads onc said: when in doubt, take it out. So I had the lumps removed. One of them turned out to be cancerous after all. I'm glad I had the surgery!

Hang in there!

Love

Jacqueline
