New here with a question

Hi my name is Amy and I am 31 years old.  My mother just went for a mammogram and they said that she had an abnormality in her left breast and that it is near her arm.  She is 57 years old and she gets a mammogram every year.  She now has to go for an ultrasound and another mammogram.  My question is how fast can cancer grow in slightly over a year? (we actually do not know that it is cancer yet but it does run in the family)

Hi, Amy, I dropped in to check on Maggie's other board and there you were. I know that the thought of your mom having breast cancer is really frightening. The good news is 8 of 10 breast lumps and/or abnormalities are not cancer.

Come visit the Minnesota board where
