She panicked and called a close friend, Emily Birenbaum, who was a physician. Emily lived nearby and told Kelly to come right over. After checking the lump, Emily told Kelly that it was a bad sign because it was so hard but since Kelly was young, it probably was just a cyst. Emily promised to schedule a mammogram for Kelly in the next few days. When Edward called that night, Kelly told him about the lump. He was optimistic that it was just a cyst.
