Should I get a second opinion about the lump the gyno just found in my breast?

The gyno wants to see me back in 3 months to check it out. Isn't that to long to wait? Shouldn't I've been sent for a mammorgram right away? I'm 33 and my mother's mother had breast cancer.

For peace of mind, get a second opinion. I found a lump 2 years ago (I was 26 at the time) and I was so nervous that I went straight to the Dr. I had a mammogram & US done and it turned out to be a fibroid tumor and I chose the option to have it surgically removed even though it wasn't dangerous (except it hurt). So for my peace of mind, I went through the process as quickly as possible and looking back, I'm glad I did because I didn't have to waste too much time stressing about it.
I wish you the best.

If you are worried about it, then Yes, I'd say, get a second opinion. That is always your right. You have a legitimate concern, and you should be able to find out what the lump is as soon as possible, instead of waiting 3 months.

Yes get a second opinion and even a third. Until they do a needle biopsy or a mammogram, I'd keep going to different doctors until they do something.
This is your body and your life and yell at the top of your lungs if you have to until they listen to you. Better to look like a fool then take chances with your health.
I wish you luck
