Hi, I understand this must be scary, but what I'm seeing is 'soft' (BC tumours are generally hard and immobile) and a clear mammogram within the last 6 months.
Given your symptoms a few weeks ago, I'd say the most likely cause is an infection that your body is still trying to clear.
Your GP is making sure, is all.
Try not to go down the rabbit hole with this because you will be dealing with a hyperstimulated system long after you've been given the all clear.
I haven't had this particular experience, but I know many women who have - and not one of them turned out to have cancer. X
