Understanding Asymmetry and Additional Images in Mammograms

Question
My doctor called telling me they need "more images" of my breasts...something about asymmetry??? what does that mean?

Answer
More pictures are OFTEN needed so that is NOT uncommon and does not necesserily mean anything bad. Assymmetry only means that your right breast and your left breast do not look exactly alike, also not uncommon. So that too does not necessarily mean anything bad but of course I can not guarantee that all is OK.
