Sending prayers. I had breast cancer and told them to check out the spot they couldn't feel anyway. There was a lump they removed. I told them to check out the spot. I didn't want them to keep an eye on it. Just take it out and proceed to the next step. That spot was cancerous. That was 2 years ago. I go in for a sonogram on my left breast to make sure the plugged ducts that have since become unplugged and not cancerous stay that way. That happens every 3 months. The lump I felt grew within a couple months. They took their time to decide what procedure and after care. Luckily it hadn't grown a lot but enough for alarm. I was fortunate, 7 weeks radiation and my chemo is in the form of arimidex pill once a day for three more years. Sending prayers from the Gulf to help your friend and her family and friends get through this ordeal. Bless you for wanting keep her comforted in the warmth and love of a quilt you make for her.
