Hello
I appreciate your concern
Lump in breast can be a benign as well as a malignant cancerous condition
If you can provide me more details I will be able to guide her better
Her age and complete medical history
size of the lump
any complaints of pain or discharge?
Family history of breast cancer
In my opinion she should consult a general surgeon for physical examination and battery of tests like mammography for confirmation of diagnosis
Ask her to search for similar lump in another breast and discuss with her doctor whenever she gets time to see a doctor
Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
