Would like to ask this question to a breast surgeon or oncologist thank you
this is taking a very long time for answer this is not good
Why is this taking so long this is very upsetting
Brief Answer:
Probably benign.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The given cyst fall in to BIRADS3 lesion and it will be benign most probably. Malignancy( cancer) is very unlikely and there is no features of definitive malignancy given in the mammo.
You can go for an ultrasound guided FNAC ( fine needle aspiration) or excision to get a tissue diagnosis.
Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing all the best,
Thanks

Why did she say a cyst and puncate microcalcifications associated what does this mean are the puncate calcifications something to worry about?
The radiologist told me to come back in 6 months for follow up is this appropiate
Brief Answer:
Nothing much to worry only follow up is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Punctate calcification is not a sign of malignancy,
Only follow up scan is required in every six months.
If you are so worried, you can go for an ultrasound guided biopsy.
