A member asked:
Surgeon wants 2 week follow up to see if hard, immovable breast lump resolves? if not, we will "discuss options". should i be concerned?

Follow-up as advised: A palpable abnormality or breast lump should not be ignored. Sounds like you are working with your doctor to figure out what is going on. While many benign processes can cause the problem you are describing, you should be diligent in its workup with your doctor. A hard lump which is immovable can be a finding of breast cancer you should not ignore.
