A member asked:

I have a breast exam in a couple of weeks. should i be concerned about a breast lump that hasn't gone away for months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Breast lumps that don't go away should be evaluated. If you have a lump, you should get a breast-exam and possibly an ultrasound and mammogram ASAP. Best wishes!
