Lump felt but not seen on ultrasound

 I have a lump on the upper inside of my left breast and it is like a little pea, I had an ultrasound on it and they couldn't see anything/it wasnt visable on the ultrasound and discharged me and the same day I had a phone call from the hospital to say they want to see me again as the ultrasound showed nothing, any more information you could give me please? thankyou!!

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I can imagine you must be feeling a bit stressed by the recall back to the breast clinic. But I'm afraid that no one on here will be able to reassure you as it all depends on why you have been recalled.

    It's possible that you may have been recalled if you mentioned you’d noticed a breast lump, at your screening appointment, even if your ultrasound looked OK. It  can sometimes be due to an 'artefact' meaning it's more to do with the procedure or machine. Also, it happens that sometimes on a recall, when it's looked at again, there isn't anything of concern. 

    I'm afraid it is just going to be a case of waiting for the appointment, which I can appreciate will be difficult.

    I hope everything turns out to be okay. Do give us a ring if you want a chat about this. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
