Same for me - my breast lump was movable and my general doctor said that although I needed a mammo and ultra sound (since it was a lump) that everything would most likely be alright since it was movable and not fixed. Well, that theory was wrong (at least in my case).

The only way to be sure is diagnositic testing and biopsy if testing is unsure.
