(Story) I recommend you get a breast examination.

If you experience a tingling sensation or feel a lump or something palpable when pressing on your chest, I strongly recommend that you visit the hospital for a check-up as a precaution.

I was paying close attention because a friend of mine had a mammotomy surgery, and I felt a lump that I had sensed for a while. When I went to the hospital and had an ultrasound, I found multiple benign tumors in both breasts. One of them was larger than 1 cm, so I underwent a mammotomy surgery. The biopsy results confirmed that it was benign, which was a relief. Since then, I have been under follow-up observation.

Even if you only have a feeling, if you go to the hospital and explain your symptoms, the doctor will suggest an ultrasound. If the doctor recommends an ultrasound first, it will be covered by your insurance, so you don't have to worry about the cost of the test at all.

And in the case of mammotomy, even if you have surgery on the same day, staying hospitalized for only 8 hours will be covered by insurance, so you probably don't need to worry about the surgery costs.

I hope my writing can be helpful for those experiencing symptoms or delaying their check-ups.
