Cancer question?!


Question: Cancer question!?
Okay, My 97 year old great grandmother recently had a lump form above her breast!. she was taken to the doctor and from what i have heard they did an ultrasound on the lump and told her it was cancer and then the doctor said they wanted to do a Mastectomy on both of them!.

A couple days ago my mom was talkin to her friend about it and she said her husband who was talking this medicince had the same thing happen!. So, my mom asked my mamaw if she is taking the medicine and she is!. and my mom researched the medicine and that could be a possible side affect!.

I questioned my mom about why they didn't do a biopsy on the lump!. and she told me that they said the cancer would speard if they did anything to it!.

So my questions are!.!.!.

1!. Doesn't it normally take more than one test to figure out you have breast cancer!?

2!. Is it true or false cancer can spread if you do a biopsy!.

Any comments about this is welcomed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
