Hi,

You need to keep your calm. Talk to a breast specialsit and get a proper clinical examination done.

Discuss about getting the MRI done and also whether an ultrasound or biopsy would be required.

What symptoms are you having? What is your age?

A confirmed diagnosis is required before the further treatment can be planned accordingly.

Let us know what your doctor tells you and what do the reports say.

Keep us posted on how you are doing and if you have any doubts.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Best thing to do, in my opinion, contact your OB.  Ask him/her for a recommendation to a breast surgeon in your area.  Go to the breast surgeon and have them do an evaluation on your lumps and the mri, if they need one.

Do follow up with the lump to your doc.  And try to get in with a breast surgeon, one who does mostly or only breast cancer surgeries.

Good luck to you!
