Irregular Hypoechoic Mass/Non-Circumscribed Margins

djmammo ~ All of the help that you provide on here is truly amazing! I was wondering if you could help better understand my mammogram/ultrasound results? I need to make an informed decision as to whether or not I should continue or forego plans to travel out of the area next week to take care of my father.

A couple of weeks ago, I was having pain in my left breast and could also feel a hard lump. At a doctor’s appointment yesterday, the doctor did a breast exam and ordered a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound which was done that day. Based on the findings, they immediately did an ultrasound core biopsy. The pathology report will not be available for approximately 3-5 business days, but by that time I'll be a couple of hundred miles away. I'm looking for any guidance you can give me on the results of the mammogram/ultrasound. I know that you can't tell me whether or not I should go — this is a personal decision that only I can make, but my hope is that with your guidance, I'll be able to make a better informed decision that I'm much more confident about — THANK YOU!

I am 41 years old and have a history of PASH and a cyst in that same breast. I do not have any family history of breast cancer.
