Annual mammo yesterday showed micro calcifications near original scar. Radiologist strongly feels it is DCIS again. Since this isn't the first time on this ride, I know that until the whole…

Ultrasound questions
hi, I’ve had an obvious lump in my breast that i discovered maybe 6 weeks ago and had an ultrasound last week. I’m wondering if anyone can help me understand why they think it doesn’t need a biopsy?
