Deneb you're not the only person afraid of breast cancer I had a biopsy last year and was supposed to get a six month repeat mammogram but I skipped it I was so scared. Seems like every time I go the the doctor they find something else wrong. I'm way over 50 so my odds are higher. I didn't even feel a lump but the mammogram showed calcification so they did a biopsy.And then someone tells me they insisted on having the benign calcification explored more and they found Cancer but caught it before any damage had been done. Shes fine now. Just a lumpectomy not even radiation. She had some chemo but you show see how happy she is today. She doesn't worry she knows they got it all. And she was older too. The ultrasound would show by the color if it was suspisious at all. Cancer is greyish and a benign lump is usually black. So please don't worry. Love Phillipa
