Answers:
Not sure what you mean by "screening!." Typically after a lump is found they do a diagnostic mammogram/sonogram!. This can resolve many suspicious lumps!. The radiologist would know pretty much right away!. If these 2 tests do not resolve the question, then they recommend (typically) a biopsy!. This can take a week or 2 to get scheduled!. Then the pathology report can take 2 weeks if it has to be sent out to another lab!.
So, try to be patient!. Hopefully they will know today, but sometimes it takes weeks to get an answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on how the hospital/facitlity is set up where your mother is going!. I found out I had cancer the day that I had my mammogram!. My hospital had a Breast Health center, and once they had mammogram pictures of my lump , there was someone immediately available for an ultrasound, and ultimately a biopsy!. I will be praying that the lump is benign, remember most lumps are not cancerous!Www@Answer-Health@Com
