Focal asymmetry not seen on ultrasound but present in mammograms
Hello! I'm so confused after reading my report. It's very generic compared to others I'm seeing posted here. That actually annoys me. I'm not overly worried but I'm not, not worried either.

Should I have asked for more testing besides ultrasound?

However on the right side it is noticeably thicker, larger and firmer. It's…
