    Hello, Mom1969! And welcome to Breastcancer.org. We're sorry you are here and worried, but we're glad to see that you found us and decided to reach out to others for support.

    BI-RADS 4c indicates a moderate-hight risk, but not as hight as BI-RADS 5, so please don't lose hope. In the United States, only about 20% of women who have biopsies turn out to have cancer. We know it's not easy, but try to take a deep breath and stay calm while you wait for your results.

    Good luck! And please keep us posted.
