gowing lump

gowing lump

i am 35 mother of four children never breast fed and the youngest being four. i noticed a lump on my right breast about two months ago, i went to the doctors and had an ultrasound and a mammogram both said they couldnt tell me what it was only that it didnt look bad, but could not be sure until it is taken out. my problem is, i cant get back in to see the doctor for another three weeks and i have noticed it has grown please give me some advice on what is happening and if i need to go to the city hospitals because living in a country town we do not have the facilities here.
thanks

Can't really be of too much help other than I would doubt that a malignant lump would grow that rapidly but a Fibroadenoma certainly would. These are benign breast tumors that occur quite often and in nearly half of all women as do breast cysts. A Radiologist can tell by experience if an abnormality looks suspicious or not and I'm sure you would have been advised to have a biopsy of some type if the lump appeared so.  These benign tumors can either be removed or just left alone unless they become quite large or cause considerable discomfort. I'm not sure where you should go but I would think seeing a Surgeon would be your next step either for removal of the lump or a biopsy.    Regards .....
