Ive has a few issues with lumps but thank god till now ive been told they are something called lumpy breast syndrome. However I was again referred as my Gp felt it worth getting checked again. I had only the right side checked by ultrasound, whilst performing the scan I could see the screen and was concerned to see  black areas of different sizes, Once back with the specialist he said id nothing yet to be concerned about, I then asked what the black areas id seen were? He did not respond, just shuffled out quickly. Since then it has been playing on my mind, but trying to get a GP apt takes so long 3 /4 weeks for a routing apt. so ive not bothered. Should I ? has anyone else ever seen these black areas when they've undertaken a ultrasound?

    black areas could be breast cysts or even your ribs or areas of normal breast tissue the lobules in the breasts can look like little pockets. if the big black areas were of concern a biopsy would of been done. cancer is not necessarily obvious on an ultrasound and takes a lot of training to pick it up. He obviously just doesn't have a very good bedside manner. hope this helps
