    Welcome! Glad your mom is doing well. Sorry you now find yourself here for you.... I've had three biopsies and never had an ultrasound. Some people do get ultrasounds tho.... I imagine what they saw on mammo was clear enough for them to want the biopsy.... Please let us know when you get a date and how the biopsy goes.

    Janet, do you have the mammogram report? What does it say, and what is the BI-RADs rating? Was it a screening mammogram or diagnostic mammogram?

    I've had lots of biopsies (7, and that doesn't include aspirations) and I think I've always had an ultrasound and/or a diagnostic mammogram after the screening mammogram.

    Dear Beesie,

    The report is showing

    BIRADS CATEGORY 04-SUSPICIOUS FINDING- Biopsy Should Be Considered

    I just want to do biopsy after 6 month.

    I recently had very bad accident and have fractures in my transverse processes L2 L3 and l4 and also in my spine.

    Also I am very scared of biopsy. I was with my mom during her cancer treatment.

    I had to see therapist to have normal life ( I had fear that her cancer could come back )

    I would be appreciate if you could guide about my result .
