I found a hard fixed lump under my right breast on my rib. i am 51 hysterectomy at 28. i have a mammogram on july 13th. will a mammogram show problems?

Not necessarily: A mammogram is not designed to check for lesions on the ribs. Please discuss the matter with your doctor so that you may get the correct imaging study, in addition to the mammogram.
