hi I posted earlier but i just saw this Dr. Answers section.. I hope you can tell me what you really think here? I am seeing a surgeon this week. and another exam..I was sent a registered letter.. so I guess that kind of freaked me out... should i get another opinion.. thankyou for being here .I am 56. I had a excisional wire biopsy in 88 and a fine needle in 2001.. all different areas of my right breast


There are scattered fibroglandular tissues noted. There are uper-outer quadrant lymph nodes noted. Within the right breast at the approx 6-7 oclock position..8 cm from the nipple is a nodular density measuring 1x0.7 cm. Reocmend spot mag and ultracound to further evaluate this lesion. adjacent to the lesion in the uper outer quadrant is a cluster of calcifications with questionable associated soft tissue density. there is coarse calcifications noted within the rb there are bilateral punctate calc. noted
coned down views demonstrate isodense, oval 1 cm nodule in the middle onethird right breast central position. there is no abnormal calc. or spiculation. ultra sound performed the same day demonstrates a nodular contour with suspicious features. conclusion... solid lobulated nodule determined by ultrasound considered suspicious and recommend biopsy. bi rads 4 right breast

Biopsy
Have you had your biopsy yet? I would not put it off with a birad 4. Biopsies can be scary, but not knowing can also be scary. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. I hope all is well. I have worked in a breast cancer clinic for 2 years and when my doctor said suspicious we were usually dealing with a breast cancer. If I can be of any help to you.. I would be glad to do so...
