Hi all,

3 months ago, I felt a lump in my breast that moves around and is palpable.
I immediately had it checked and nothing was picked up in the area of concern.
I had two biopsies other incidental findings during that ultrasound though.

The lump is still there and feels more obvious now.
I'm going to mention it to the doc in 2 days but, I'm so worried about it beung something that's bern missed.

I used to think ultrasound was a great tool.. now I'm so worried it's missed something.
I can't sleep.

:(

Biopsies are the gold standard of tests. You've had TWO clear biopsies. If those are clear, they are clear, end of story!

They were on other lumps in other parts of the breast.

On further inspection, I don't think the lump itself has gotten 'bigger'.
I think my breast has become less dense, making it more obvious..

Even so, the odds of missing something serious on ultrasound?

Slim to no chance it would miss something of concern. Let us know what the doctor says. Stop poking and prodding!

I'm breastfeeding so, checking for lumps has to happen. To be fair, I haven't checked since the biopsies were done!
