There are organizations the dr's offices and cancer centers hook you up with that are wanting to help people from their area.  So please encourage her to see a DR.

I hope this is true in your area but here there are free Mammograms offered thru the local hospitals and the health department for uninsured or underinsured women. This is thru grants from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Look around and I'm sure you'll be able to find some financial help for her.

Dear Jeff,  Without evaluation it is impossible to say what this lump is.  A breast lump should be evaluated.  Check with your local health agencies.  Depending on the community there is often a clinic available where a person can get evaluation of a problem at little or no charge.
