[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. OK. The appointment went well. The doctor felt the lump and made me lift my arms up, at my side, lie down and behind my head. He did give me an order to a Diagnostic Center to do a mammogram.I did ask him what he thought it could be, however, he would not offer an explanation. His only reply was that it could be many things and not to worry. I am trying to get the appointment today as instructed.so, I don't know anything more then I did before.he knows about my family history of ovarian cancer, and my personal history of melanoma. he didn't seem too concerned, which is reassuring to me.he just told me to get this done yesterday or today if I can.I only have an order for the one breast though, is this normal?[/quote]

Go to a breast specialist asap.  The fact that he wanted the mammogram done in a day is not normal.  And, a mammogram won't actually tell you all that you need to know.  Sibley's breast center is great.  I highly recommend them.[/quote]

I go to Sibley's Breast Center as well (Sullivan Breast Center).  Definitely get this done today.  If he's asking you to do it today or tomorrow I would say he is eager for a diagnosis.  When my sister went in for a lump at 37 they sent her straight over to to get a mammogram because the lump was very suspicious.  She did have BC.  I'm not trying to freak you out although I know this will.  But when you call make sure they understand you need to be seen immediately.  It is probably NOTHING.  And what PP said is true.  A mammogram on someone your age may not reveal anything because you're tissue is very dense at that age.  I would demand to see one of the doctors there for an ultrasound.  Best of luck and keep us posted.  [/quote]
I do not live in the DC area. I came across this forun last year while I was doing IVF. we do not have breast specialist in this area.actually, I have never even heard of one.I'm waiting on a call back for an appointment with the Diagnostic Center. they are trying to get me on this afternoon. like I mentioned before I don't know anyone who has ever had issues with  their breast.
