2018-06-29T00:00:00Z	5 June 28, 2018	I came in due to a lump in my right breast. Sarah did an exam, confirmed what I had felt & found a possible lump in the left while the right lump turned out to be a cyst. The left will be biopsied next week. Had Sarah not found it & prepared me emotionally on what to expect, I'm 100% certain my already stressful experience would have been 100 x worse. I am SO thankful for everyone in your office, but especially Sarah!!
