Are mammograms fool proof

I have just had all clear from my last routine mammogram but a week later I have found a lump just below nipple . I was not confident with the particular radiographer I had , she was not the same one i had ,had at my previius 2 mammograms . The other lady seemed more thorough and very particulsr about getting all my breast tissue in machine and pulling back my implants as best as she could. Should i go to doctor about the lump ? Thanks in advance

    Mammograms and ultrasound did not pick up my invasive cancer but did pick up the DCIS but this was because I have dense breast.. So not 100% success rate but given you can feel yours I would imagine this would have been picked up if they thought it suspicious however I would still go to the GP so they can examine the lump to see if its anything you need worry about.
