A classmate in a similar situation convinces you that you can escape civilization and boring professors, move to South America and raise Alpacas, which are prized for their wool. You go for it! You arrive at the Andes and life is good. Everything is going great! Your sweaters are selling for $500 each but one day you notice that your favorite Alpaca, Lucy, has a big lump on her side that appears to be a malignant tumor. A local veterinarian is able get you a biopsy of the tumor. You quickly ship it to your old lab. A few days later, you receive an email from your lab and it indicates that Lucy has a mammary tumor. Answer the following question:
