I have had lumps in my breasts for about 16yrs, I have had 4 mammograms 2 needle biopsies etc. I recently found a lump under my left arm, the doctor sent me for a mammogram, yesterday the nurse called and said the doctor wanted me to have an ultrasound of my lump under my arm, the problem is I cannot seem to find the lump anymore, should I still have the ultrasound, or cancel it? If it is cancer could it have moved or changed in 3 weeks, I am scared to death, and am scheduled to have the ultrasound on friday, this probably seems like a stupid problem,but anyone with any advise would help alot. thank-you

Yes!!!!!!!! Have the ultrasound done. Hopefully it is/was just a swollen lymph node due to an infection, but you need to know what it is. If it is anything, you need to get it taken care of ASAP. If it is nothing, then you need that assurance sanity wise. I'm sure I'm speaking for alot of people when I say this; no question or problem is stupid or irrelevant, especially when it deals with cancer!!!!Let me know your results.

Have the test. It may not be anything of concern., If having the test scares you, what would happen if it is cancer and you don't have it diagnosed as early as possible should absolutely petrify you.
Have the ultrasound. If your lump has really disappeared, then that's brilliant, but you have nothing to lose by having the ultrasound scan, which in itself is nothing to be afraid of. How long was the lump there for?
