The Background Story

Robin found a tiny lump about 10 months ago that she brought to the attention of her OB/GYN. She was sent to have an ultrasound of the area. At that time there was no evidence of a tumor and she was told it should not be a concern. Fast forward to last Thurday, February 28, when her OB/GYN felt the same lump in the same place and decided to send Robin for a mammogram at the Crouse Breast Health Center. The recommended age of a screening mammogram has recently been pushed back to 40 from 35. But given the fact that Robin just turned 35 and still had this tiny lump, she had her screening now. In addition to the one lump, the radiologist discovered three more tumors. We were all shocked by this, including the radiologist and OB/GYN. We were told that this was very likely cancer. She was scheduled for biopsy on Monday morning.
