Palpable lump not showing on Mamogram

I've been to the hospital today on the 2 week pathway. I have what I feel is a large lump on my breast I've had this for a approx 6weeks. The specialist could feel the lump and send me for mammogram and ultrasound. Nothing has shown up they said it's fibrous tissue and said they will review me in 4 weeks and maybe do a biopsy if they feel it's needed. I now feel worried sick as I feel this is now unexplained. Has anyone has a similar experience? 

  • Hi there. I just wrote out a big reply but something ate my whole wall of text :laugh: anyway just wanted to say that this happened to me multiple times! Lump but nothing on mammogram and ultrasound. First time I was so distressed and did not believe them, they even did a biopsy just to reassure me. Came back as normal. Still took me over a year to believe that I didn't have cancer since the lump was still there. Had the same happen two more times. Both times 2 week referral to breast clinic. Always had different consultants but they all said the same. Its nothing. Am now much more chilled when I find something! So I guess this is the same case for you.

    And BTW the first lump disappeared after like one and a half year. And that is more than 6 years ago. 

  • Hi, have you had anymore update on this situation? Exact same happening to me and I'm exhausted with worry
