Ahmed, any change in a woman's breast should be seen by a doctor—especially a new lump. Please don't panic, though; my advice would be to call the doctor, describe your mother's situation, and ask for an appointment as soon as possible. I'm sure, if they feel what you describe is serious, they'll see her as soon as they can. Good luck to you both- PJH
