Post-Menopausal Breast Lump

Post-Menopausal Breast Lump

HI!! My mom is 64 and has a lump in her left breast (tail of spence area).  It's palpable and uncomfortable to touch...she is having a diag. mammo tomorrow....what else should she be doing.  And, should we believe it's cancer until proven otherwise because of her age and being post-menopausal??  We are scared.  My mom has no other risk factors for breast cancer then her age.  Thanks for any info.  Jen in NJ

Dear jenmac287:  Lumps can be many things.  If there is a lump that can be felt, it needs further evaluation.  We cannot assume anything until there is more information.  There is nothing specific that your mother should do in preparation for her mammogram.
