RE; Concerned

Spunky11

I'm new here.  I'm 42 just had my 2nd mammo.  It was benign however, last time I was a birads 1 now I'm a 2.  Also in my report it states that there was suspicious cluster of microcalcification, or architectural distortion to suggest malignancy.  But the DR is telling me to follow up next yr.  Can someone out there please tell me if I should be concerned about this or not.  Given what I know is in my report.  Thank you

Here is what bco says about birad 2. http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/types...

Looks like it is a benign result and followup in a year appropriate. Best wishes for continued good results!

Your report contradicts itself by saying that it is birads 2 (benign) but also "suggesting malignancy". I would ask for clarification.

Ditto Wrenn - "birads 2" and "suggest malignancy" don't go together. xx

My last two have been birads 2 and only describe benign findings. xx

Thank you to all those who responded to my post.   I greatly appreciate it.     If anyone else out there would like to give me some advice on this subject I would greatly appreciate it.

If I were you, I would call your Dr to confirm bc I agree with Wrenn that the report is contradictory. That way you know for sure

I think "architectural distortion" is always cause for followup, as is the word "suspicious."   Your doctor or the radiologist should probably be setting up an appointment for a diagnostic mammogram.   I'd give one, or perhaps both, of them a call.
