I'm sure my dear Barbara has written some words of wisdom but be short and sweet - 1)get a mammogram; 2)get a breast examination by your gynecologist or breast surgeon; 3)after it is determined what you are feeling, biopsy or fine needle aspiration, complete lump removal or observation will be chosen from a combination of physical exam data and radiologic information.

Good luck and get 1,2 and 3 done pronto. It's the only appropriate way to protect yourself.
