The 62-year-old followed-up her post with another photo of a different machine - a breast ultrasound - which Kris said was just an extra precaution and it takes only 30 minutes to do.

Kris wrote: "After I had the mammogram this morning I also got a breast ultrasound with this machine, just to double triple check...this took about 15 minutes each side and gets under the arm, breast and nearer the chest in the middle...didn’t hurt at all just some pressure...and very thorough."
