Understanding Abnormal Mammogram & Ultrasound Results: What Could It Mean?


Question
the second opinion doctor said that he feels from the films that it is encapsulated in a lymph node, and the radiology report says could be a curvilinear cluster--also says hypoechoic mass, also have other place on same breast they tell me is large cyst with debris--can you explain any of this to me?  i watched the ultrasound, as i always do, and there was definitely something different about this one--
thank you for any assistance you can give me--seeing a surgeon in two weeks, but concerned about the wait, could this make any difference?

Answer
Dear michelle,   WAITING will NOT make any difference of hurt you unless the surgeon decides to wait WEEKS before he/she does surgery to remove these masses....  It is best to have them surgically removed and biopsied to make sure there is NO cancer since needle biopsy and core biopsy are NOT 100% guaranteed...

thank you,    karen
