Hello and thank you anyone who would share their opinion on my situation. About 9months I noticed my right nipple inverting. I didn't worry about it too much as I figured it could be just changes or a cyst, however I decided I would bring it up at my annual physical. My physician did a breast exam and didn't feel anything I also semi regularly do my own exam and feel general normal lumps I have always felt nothing noticeable. She decided to order a Mamo which was my first. Im 37 with no family history. After the radiologist requested I have an ultrasound of both breasts and I did while on the table my nipple was inverted and she took pictures while it was inverted in case it would be helpful to the radiologist. A few mins later I was brought to a room with a phone where the radiologist told me I have a 7mm nodule in the right breast and that it was considered very small. I asked if that was the cause of the inverted nipple and he told me no and that the nodule was on the outer portion of my breast. He recommended I do a repeat ultrasound in 6months which I scheduled an appointment for. Ive been repeatedly trying to get a hold of my primary to ask her opinion on it but have not gotten in touch with her. My question really is do I listen to this radiologist or do I push to find an answer now? My other question is because he called it a nodule was he able to tell from the ultra sound that it was not a cyst? Thanks for any insight!

Im waiting for it to be uploaded to my patient portal and still trying to reach the doctor. In the mean time I've officially scared the crap out of myself as a few weeks ago I had bloodwork which included CRP that was 14.3, I didn't correlate it with anything other than possible vascular inflammatory condition which I scheduled a cardio appointment for but I just re-read it and now Im in a panic.
