thank you I appreciate this. I try to ask all the questions but then I forget some things and who I asked and it’s just all a whirlwind

bossmom - not to worry about asking questions and getting confused. We've all been there. Hoping your final results are easily treatable.

Jordan,
I know this is stressful time . Most of us have been there but we are not doctors and not your doctor. Your biopsy will yield more definitive information. It is hard to wait but have you considered asking your doctor to clarify things?

I feel so bad for those asking for help. This USED to be a thread where you could get some extra eyes on scans and such but the person that did that ( they were a professional BC ultrasound medical professional ) is no longer here. I wish they would just delete this thread. Because the title says Interpreting Your Report and that obvi isnt what is happening anymore.

Jessica,
If you read the very first post it explains that dj mammo has stepped away. He did this voluntarily. Interpreting imaging is not really what this site is for. This site, the community threads, were never intended to provide personal medical advice/interpretations. The best advice we can give anyone who has a question about imaging is to have them ask their doctor as we are not medical professionals. I am leary of casual interpretations by non-medical professionals and really wish the mods would emphasize that.

Digital tomosynthesis was performed and utilized for the interpretation of
the current examination.
Breast density: scattered fatty and fibroglandular density.
There is a 4 mm mass in the LEFT axillary tail. There is an asymmetric
nodular density noted within the medial aspect of the LEFT breast on CC
projection. Spot compression views and ultrasound LEFT breast recommended
for further evaluation. There is no mammographic evidence for dominant
mass, architectural distortion, spiculation or suspicious cluster of
microcalcifications within the RIGHT breast.
IMPRESSION:
BI-RADS CATEGORY - 0- incomplete. Needs additional imaging evaluation..
FOLLOW UP: Spot compression views and ultrasound of the LEFT breast are
recommended for further evaluation.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. In up to 10% of patient's, cancers are not visible on mammography.
2. If a suspicious lump is palpated, biopsy should not be deferred because
of a negative mammogram.
