Many things possible: Can see one's primary care doctor this week or next week. If needed, the doctor can refer to Radiology to do imaging studies of the breasts, and refer to other specialists in breast problems. All lumps in breasts have to be diagnosed, to make sure they are either ok or not ok. A woman in her late 30's with a breast lump will want to rule out breast cancer.
