Routine screening is recommended from theage of 40-44 years for every women . So since your mother is 49 years , she should definitely undergo a mammogram . This should be done even if the current lump has subsided . Please continue the medication as advised by your gynaecologist and get a mammogram done . Mammogram is a safe investigation. Which will help us understand if any pathology that’s concerning is there . Please feel free to contact me over consult , if you have any other doubts or concerns
