7 mm nodule found on mri, now ultrasound...

MRIs, although valuable screenings, yield many false positives. The Ultrasound will help clarify what was found  on the mri.  Ultrasounds are often better at evaluating & detecting cancers. If something suspicious is discovered, they may do an ultrasound guided biopsy.  I have had many, many false positives but last June cancer was found.  Scary but I was very happy that it was found early. 

This past May my mri showed a questionable area which a follow-up ultrasound proved to be a false positive result. Aren't we lucky that we live in a day and age where all these screening devices are available! 

So if anyone can answer have a 6mm mass done 3d Mammo. Was called back for more pics and then nurse came back said we are taking you into ultra sound. Then Dr casme in looked at it said get dress lets meet in my office. I went to office biopsy schedular there. But my Doctor who recommend me wants me to see a surgeon to do biopsy. It was graded bi rad 4c highly suspicion of magilancy. Do biopsy Thursday, is this bad are good. I don' know how to feel. But family physicin got her report and sent text keeping yo in our prayers. Radiologist Doctor said he felt it was malignancy I figure he looks at enough to tell. Anyone' opinion would help, taking it one step at a time.

So sorry you find yourself here jules, with questions and concerns. This thread hasn't been active since 2009, but I can answer some of your questions. BIRADS 4c has a positive predictive value of 79%, which means that in 79% of the time a BIRADS 4c finding is malignant. Notice that isn't 100%, so there is still room for a b9 pathology result, but given the radiologist's impression, I would encourage you to try and prepare yourself mentally for a bc diagnosis, continuing to hope that it isn't. I guess I'm not sure whether it really matters whether a surgeon (who does some biopsies) is better than the Radiologist (who does lots of biopsies), but if you already have your biopsy scheduled, that point is mute. I would ask them on Thursday when they expect to get your pathology results back, and also if they will insist on you having a follow up appointment to get the results, or if they will give them over the phone. (different facilities have different protocols and it helps to set expectations) If they want you to have a follow up appointment, I would encourage you to bring someone with you as it can be difficult to remember to ask questions and take in all of the information given - even with b9 results (in that case there will be short interval follow up, or sometimes even removal is recommended). That person can be there to support or celebrate with you. Sending you positive thoughts for b9 results.
