Question : I wrote in a few months ago about my husband having a lump on his breast. It is an oval shaped lump not a hard nodule. The doctor did an ultrasound. He said it was nothing to worry about. He said to just watch it to see if it gets bigger. He didnt tell him what he thought it was. Should we get a second opinion? I am still worried about it. Does an ultrasound prove it isnt cancer?

Brief Answer:
Need a physical examination to find out

Detailed Answer:
Hi
GREETINGS
I hope you have consulted a surgeon and got a physical examination .
If not , please do that before going for investigation.
It can be a simple fat collection called as Lipoma.
If it is not Lipoma , he will suggest ultrasound guided biopsy .
Hope my answer helps you.
