    If it is possible she should go to a breast center, not just the xray department of the hospital. The center I use has radiologists that ONLY read mammograms plus a computer that also independently reads them. They look at the film right away and you get the US right then. If needed they do the biopsy right then. I don't think I'd ever go anywhere else.

    I began finding lumps in my breasts when I was 15 years old. I have a family history of fibrocystic breast disease, so I wasn't worried. They tend to come and go from month to month. That was until I had a reduction mamoplasty and haven't found any since, and either did the pathologist during the examination. If I didn't have a family history of this then I would have freaked out, and had it checked out my more than my family physician.
