I have a lump in my left breast.  The mammo and ultrasound came back NSF.  My doc wants me to watch for one month then see a surgeon.  Why can it be felt but not seen on the mammo and ultrasound?

If it is very small sometimes it can't be seen clearly on the mammos etc. Please keep an eye on it and insist on having another mammo/ultrasound if you dont feel comfortable with the results. xx

It could be hidden by the density of your breasts, or some other factor. I wonder if you should ask for an MRI, for a more definitive diagnosis? I'm not really in favor of the "wait and see" approach when you feel a lump in your breast, and it can't be diagnosed by the usual methods... Good luck - PJH
