Need to follow up after my ultrasound on 12/31

chris0114

Hi - my first post here - just got a call from my gyno yesterday where she read the results of my ultrasound on 12/31 (purpose of ultrasound was due to dense breast tissue, no other symptoms):

"In the 11:30 position of the right breast, 2-3 cm from the nipple, there is a possible 7x5x5 mm irregular hypoechoic mass. This may represent confluence of structures close to the nipple. However, it appears separate from the nipple on some views. Further evaluation is recommended."

I'm scheduled to have another targeted ultrasound on Monday, followed by a diagnostic mammogram if the radiologist finds it necessary.

What can I expect from this visit on Monday? (or is it different dependent upon the practice). I've never had a result like this before. Everything's always been fine (I am almost 49 yo). I'm hoping that I will get concrete answers on Monday and not have to wait a few days for the results to come back.

Thanks for any perspective. I am stressed out about this even though I am trying not to be.
