She lives with me. I am widowed and my money is running out. No money, no insurance , no Dr. What can she do? Connie Treat

Hello
Your daughter need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.
She also need mammography and ultrasonography of breast.
These combined investigations and clinical evaluation are highly sensitive and further treatment depend upon findings.
Breast lump may be due to both reasons,benign or malignant.
She may need further investigations like FNAC after evaluation.
Get well soon.
