I found a lump in my breast and went to the Doc.....She measured it, it was 2cm long. She was very vague on what she thought it could be and said she would not call it a mass. She ordered a mammogram for me and put urgent on the paperwork, but the appointment isnt for another 4 weeks. I am a 40year old women, she said given my age that it is not uncommon to have lumps and I am pretty healthy. I am concerned though that she marked it urgent, should I be?
Hello! Thank you for the query. Mammogram is used for early detection of breast cancer which can not be palpated. In case of palpable lump ultrasound and biopsy should be done. So at your case mammogram is a kind of mistake. I suggest you to consult gynecologist or surgeon with this problem. Ultrasound should be done and biopsy considered. Hope this will help. Regards.
