Waiting for biopsy
51 yr old high risk from family and had a mri. Found something. Was sent in for ultrasound. Now they have 2 spots in my right breast that waiting for biopsy appointment. Very scared.
Dense tissue in both wonder if they should have done a ultrasound on the left too?

Hi @boobme1, I'm sorry that you have the stress of waiting for a biopsy and the results. An ultrasound is done to help evaluate the area(s) with the abnormality. It is not used to scan the entire breast.
If a biopsy is positive extra scanning is sometimes done on the contralateral breast, usually a MRI. Since you had one initially and nothing was seen you would discuss the need for additional imaging with a breast surgeon. Hopefully the biopsy will be benign and you won't have to worry about this. All the best.

Thank you. Crossing my fingers this is just a scare. Trying to tell myself if it is positive I am relatively healthy and youngish. Sounds like I am already gathering some people, you guys, to talk things over and learn more. I thank you.
