Anxious waiting for Biopsy

I am nearing my 5 year anniversary of Stage 1, Grade 3, BC in my left breast and today the mammogram and sonogram picked up somethin in my right breast. (I just had a clear MRI on this breast 8 months ago!) The radiologist said it could be a hematoma as there is no vascularity and it is very small (5mm) but I am spiraling at seeing BiRads4. The key features are below- has anyone had a similar sitch and come back benign?

  • Size:
    πŸ‘‰ 0.5 cm (5 mm) β€” very small
  • Location:
    πŸ‘‰ Superficial (closer to skin) β€” often benign territory
  • Echogenicity:
    πŸ‘‰ Heterogeneous / hyperechoic
    • Hyperechoic (lighter not dark)
  • Margins:
    πŸ‘‰ β€œIll-defined"
  • No calcifications:
  • No axillary lymph nodes:
  • No other lesions:
  • Thank you!!
