I felt a lump in my left breast and subsequently went in for a check up with a gynaecologist. She could not feel the lump on physical examination but still prescribed a USG where no abnormalities were found and hence I was given nothing as treatment. However, I was not satisfied with the USG results and hence after two months I again went in for another USG and this time I was detected with BIRADS 3 lesions in both breasts. I consulted another gynaecologist and she told me there's nothing to worry and I was completely fine. Getting assurance from two gynaecologists that I am fine I dropped the issue.
However, I found yesterday that my aunt (my father's sister) got detected with breast cancer. When I googled it, I found BIRADS category 3 still has 2% chances of becoming malignant and it advices follow up USG after 6 months! I took my last USG in December 2020! Because of covid I am hesitant to go to a lab for another USG right now. Kindly suggest what to do. My USGs are attached.
