My mom died of cancer at 51. Her mom died of cancer at 36. Three of my grandmother&#8217;s sisters died of cancer.<br \/>\nMy surgeon tells me it&#8217;s quite common for women to have fatty tissue that just grows a little too quickly. In fact, he says, if it were him, he&#8217;d probably just leave the lump alone.<br \/>\nWhen my mom found her first lump, she thought it was just a swollen lymph node and her doctor sent her for a biopsy just as a precaution. Six months later she was dead. Every time I feel my lump, I don&#8217;t hear the words of my reassuring doctor. I feel the chill of losing my mom because of a lump that soon became several lumps.<br \/>\nIntellectually I am sure the trio of doctors are right. This little glob of fat is nothing to worry about.<br \/>\nBut I expect I&#8217;ll be better at taking their advice once I don&#8217;t have to encounter the lump every day.<br \/>\nMeantime, I&#8217;ve officially entered middle age by having my first <a href=\"http:\/\/health.med.umich.edu\/healthcontent.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&amp;id=6&amp;action=detail&amp;AEProductID=HW_Knowledgebase&amp;AEArticleID=hw214210&amp;AEArticleType=MedicalTest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mammogram<\/a>.
