When a lump is first discovered, a woman can be very unsettled.
The first thing that the woman should do is phone her family doctor and make an appointment. When she sees the family doctor, the doctor will do a physical examination and will almost certainly arrange for some additional investigations like a mammogram, possibly a breast ultrasound.
The important thing for women to remember though is the majority of lumps turn out to be benign. Most women get good news at the end of the day.
