My breast sonogram took 30 minutes

I’m 41 years old, no history of BC, had my first mammogram in June. Was called back for further imaging and a bi-lateral sonogram. I wasn’t totally surprised because I know I have dense breast tissue so I figured they just wanted more info for a baseline

Not so. The radiologist showed me images from my diagnostic mammogram on my left breast and they revealed micro calculations and recommended a biopsy “to be safe. And you’re young” were her words. Oh, no big deal, they’re usually benign is what everyone says but I know they only do biopsies for Birad 4 or 5 and that a 5 is almost always cancer. When I looked (briefly) at the mammogram image in the radiologist office I saw some rather big, bright white specks but I didn’t know what I was looking at so it was all mostly a blur.

Next I had a sonogram (this was already scheduled and I now knew I would need a biopsy). The sonogram took almost 30 minutes. The technician said they don’t usually take that long and that I have “very busy breasts” and to expect a follow up. Thankfully I already knew I had to get a biopsy but I am concerned about the length of time it took for my sonogram and the things she said.

Tomorrow I meet with a breast specialist who will go over my mammogram and sonogram results and order the biopsy. I’m sick to my stomach knowing that in less than 24 hours I can get the worst news of my life

Mostly here to just to vent and wonder if anyone else had a long sonogram and what their results were

Good luck to everyone on this forum. I never thought I’d find myself here
