Hi I'm just looking for any advice or similar experiences.
I found a hard breast lump (approx 1cm), underneath my breast around a month ago and was sent for an ultrasound 2 weeks later.
fast forward to my appointment where the doctor examined me and said he could feel the lump and assured me it's likely a benign lump that young women can get (I'm 25).
I have the ultrasound and the radiologist, after what seemed like a very short scan, says it's just normal breast tissue. I had just been told by the doctor previous that he could feel the lump so I questioned it and whether I had told him the correct place (this is because he only put the scanner on the area I thought it was).
after the appointment I was seen by the doctor again, I questioned the difference in their opinions and he said he wants to see me again in 3 months to check up on it.
im very confused. Is it normal breast tissue? And if so, why do they want to see me again in 3 months? or is it a lump which is missed on the ultrasound? Which waiting 3 months to 'check again' doesn't sit right with me.
my next appointment is in august and me and my partner both think the 'lump' feels bigger. I'm not sure what to do. I feel like the radiologist treated me like a hypochondriac but I'm so confused with the mixed messages I'm getting from him and the doctor.
anyone got any advice?
and is it normal for them to only scan the area where there's a 'lump' or is the whole breast usually scanned?
