Hi my name is Amy I have a biopsy on June 10, I am a little confused. My mammogram and ultrasound didnt come out good, Doctor told me he didnt feel very much when he did the exam, but that i was a stage 4, and i dont think this has anything to do with my problem but my breast itches alot. im so lost

Amy, I don't think your dr can stage cancer without a biopsy and other tests. Stage four is a very advanced stage of cancer...one that has spread to other parts of your body, and there's no way he would know that just by feeling.

Where does your breast itch?  It can be a symptom of breast cancer especially if it is around your nipple area. Are there other changes you can see around there, such as your nipple retracting into the breast? 

[Edited to add]

Could your dr have been saying your mammogram reading was a BIRAD 4? That's a different thing than a cancer stage. It's a warning system that grades the mammograms for future reference.
