I will start with that I am a US citizen and 31, whuch means we pay for our insurance. I put off having a lump looked at for five months due to the out of pocket costs without insurance.
I finally broke down and paid 600 for a doctor visit, mammogram, and ultrasound.
The doctor and mammo tech both felt the lump. The mammogram showed nothing so I had a US on my entire breast. The US tech struggled to find the lump.
Despite the fact it it hurt when it showed up and has been there for months, the radiologist couldn’t see anything.
A MRI would be 700 and a biopsy would be 2000.
They believe it is just fat, but I am anxious. Still, nearly 3000 to confirm a negative would hurt my family.
