Hi Charmaine, so sorry for this shocking outcome. The next steps usually go like this.... you will probably have a mammogram, ultrasound, a needle biopsy and a couple of days wait for the results. Keep in mind, this could be benign. So for now, this may be your path. They might be able to tell a lot from the mammogram and ultrasound and that is only how far you will need to go. Hang in there Charmaine, we have been there. If you need more information, please check back in with us here. There are lots of women here to help you. Take care, Sharon
