I just got off the phone with my MIL and she has spoken to her doctor. Her doctor told her there is something there but it doesn't appear to be cancer. In a word, they don't know what it is. So, this is good/bad? I'm not sure yet.

Her doctor said she recommends a follow up mammogram in 6 months to see if this spot (not lump) changes in any way. She also advised her to stay away from any Estrogen. (Estrogen can cause cancer - I'm no doctor but this is what I have read regarding Estrogen and it's correlation to breast cancer)

Her doctor also told her that if she really wants to, she can get an appointment with a breast surgeon but my MIL said no way is she doing that because she figures they'd do all kinds of tests and a biopsy and she is a firm believer that agitating something could cause it to spread.

So at this point I guess we wait, yet again. She's certainly not out of the woods yet, so to speak but it is a relief to know it's not presenting as if it's cancer.

Thank you everyone who sent well wishes, healing energy, love and light. I truly believe that helps. Even though it is my MIL and not me, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Now I can get back to planning our Disney vacation - one she will surely NEED now!

Blessed Be all~
