Breast testing: You did not mention your age, or your family history regarding breast disease. If you had a digital mammogram, and it was read as normal, the additional test may be an ultrasound test, to discover a lump felt in your breast which did not show up on mammogram. In any case, a loss of 20 pounds can certainly make it easier to feel irregularities in your breast.
