Q: Lump in left breast

Hello...

About 2 months ago my husband felt a lump in my breast and I was sent to see my doctor.. She felt a lump too and referred me to the breast clinic which I went last week. The first doctor examined my breast and was told that she felt it too and also she felt some lumps on my right under armpit too. Then the second doctor came along and checked too but he don't think I have the lumps... So I was sent to the mammogram and came back clear. So the doctor won't give me any further tests and sent me home. But why I still got a lump in my breast and my husband checked again... The lump hasn't gone yet.. same place since he felt it 2 months ago... So What I am do about it?

Any Advice... please..

Thank you

It is often routine that when there is something palpable on the breast exam but the mammogram is negative, an ultrasound is performed to look for a cyst.
Ask for an ultrasound!
