So last saturday i attended the breast clinic. The breast clinic done a physical exam lying down and sitting up and was very thorough. But i was expecting to be sent for an ultrasound and i wasnt. He said to me after i got dressed its just benign lumpy breasts and theres nothing more to do. I was so happy when i left and throughout the week ive hardly thought about it until now. I'm just concerned as there is a lump and was hoping i'd get an ultrasound to check on it instead of being told im ok. I do suffer horrendous anxiety and im pregnant. I really dont want to worry about this anymore its making me si unhappy and im back to poking away at the area constantly and always having it on my mind. Should i trust the breast surgeon? Ive spoke to people and they've said definitely trust them but im scared

The breast surgeon is an expert and if he had any doubts he would have sent you for the ultrasound. I have recently been through this and ultrasound found a cyst, which was drained. I still have some small lumps but have been reassured by the surgeon that my breast feels normal now. I think some lumps can be normal though it's always worth getting them checked. Obviously if they change size or shape go back to your GP.
