What if US result says "Suggestive of being Malignant" ??

Hi, this is the continuation from my mom's story that I posted a few days ago.

My Mom did the US yesterday, we haven't meet the doctor yet to hear anything, we have appointment for Monday, but this is just depressing because I read it says "suggestive of being malignant" in the end of the result.

This is the full one :
Right breast : Cutis & subcutis good. No thickening. Retracted papilla. Hipoechoic inhomogen, iregular, and spiculated size 1.55 x 1.39 cm, not hypervascularization on color doppler. No calcification. No enlarged lymph nodes.

Left breast : Cutis & subcutis good. No thickening. No papilla retraction. There's iso-hiperechoic (?), quite indistinct margin. Superoinferial lateral (?) with quite indistinct margin. Enlarged left axilla nodes (lymph axilla), multiple (size 0.88 x 0.44 cm and 0.45 x 0.31 cm).

Radiologist's conlusion on the letter says : Mass on right breast with papilla retraction. Suggestive of being malignant. Mass on left breast with multiple left axilla lymphadenopathy.

My questions are :

1. How accurate is the statement about "suggestive of being malignant"?

2. What does "superoinferial lateral (?) " mean?

3. Are multiple enlarged left axilla nodes / lymph axilla / lymphadenopathy bad?

Thank you.

icic14,

A suggestion for you. To get better responses, and to make it easier for those responding, it's best if you stick to one discussion thread. You previously posted about your mother's situation and many of us answered. This post is out of context without that earlier information. So could you do a copy & paste of your post from here, and add it in as a new post at the bottom of your previous thread? Then you can delete this post. That way, all the information about your mother's situation will be in one place, as well as all the answers. You will get much better feedback that way.
