Yep, you really have to be vigilant.Last year my mother felt a lump and 2 mammograms at an outstanding Houston hospital showed nothing. She insisted on a biopsy and the specialist gave in, although he said it would be benign. She told them to take both breasts if it wasn't.
Well, it was malignant and they took both breasts and that was good because it turned out that there was another malignant and fast-growing lump in the other breast.None of these lumps showed up on any mammogram--and the moral of this story is***** examine your breasts every month*****!!
