I have been considering going to a dr. to get a breast ultrasound recommendation. My right breast is pretty lumpy, there is one lump that seems to never go away with my cycles though and it's been there about a year. It also hurts when I poke at it and gets soooo painful a week or so before my period starts. I have heard that lumps that hurt are not usually something to worry about, especially if there are cyclic changes. If your lump seems to swell and shrink, it may just be a cyst. I have had an abdominal ultrasound before and it is a pretty quick and painless procedure. You will be asked to undress from the waist up and wear one of those paper shirt things. The lights will be dim as the technician reads the monitor and rubs a plastic wand over your breasts(after applying jelly.) Good luck with everything! Deep breaths and you will be fine! Please keep me updated. Are you going to a hospital that specializes in breast ultrasounds?
