Apples & Oranges: What you feel on breast examination and see on mammogram are not always correlated; although mammograms are excellent screening tests, they do miss cancers. Therefore, the lump you feel could very well have been present last month and gone undetected. Please see your primary care dr or gyne--an ultrasound of this lump will help determine if biopsy is necessary.

Lump: Breast cancer tends to grow slowly so hopefully this is just a cyst. No matter what the mammogram said, if you feel a lump it needs to be checked out. Please call your doctor.

See your doctor: A proper examination of the breast is done with the palm of the hand and not with fingertips. If a lump is felt, it should be investigated regardless of a negative mammogram. There are many instances of false negative mammograms. A palpable lump should be examined by your doctor.
