Lump: Always possible you need a mammogram, but examination would be the best to start with. Also, if imaging needed ultrasound would very likely be first choice.

Sounds like...: Time to 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/or 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. The evaluation begins with one's primary care doctor, not with a radiologist.
