How can a doctor be sure that lump in your breast is only a cyst?

I have had it check 3 times and they insist it appears to be normal. But now it's hurting into my armpit area as well and the lumps bigger and still there . Mammograms hurt and they suck and they never show me the actual results like the pictures they took. anyone else having this problem?

How can a doctor be sure that lump in your breast is only a cyst?
A cyst is fluid filled and can be drained and/or collapsed. A cancerous lump is more solid and has a different feel and shape to it. There are several things that could be going on in your system, but ask the doc if you can't get that cyst "destroyed" so to speak and then you will feel much better.
Reply:you can request a breast sonogram and in fact insist on it. you are the patient. and it is your right. tell them you want a sonogram or an mri, immediately. tell them whatever it takes to give you peace of mind.
Reply:Why haven't they ultrasounded you?





If there is a palpable lump, breast ultrasound is a required tool for diagnosing.





Demand a breast ultrasound.
