What Could A Lump Found In A Mammogram Be Indicative Of?

I had a free mammogram done, they called me back into the hospital because they found a lump. A lump was already found in a previous mammogram. This is another hospital. I have been worried. How can I prepare myself for whatever the final result may be? I am stressed!!

u need to carry ur previous mammogram to present hospital to compare so that if any increase in size or shape will definitely indicate the biopsy is to be taken. if previous report is benign disease, then, there may be possibility this may also be of benign, but cannot gurantee. don't get stressed, lump always doesn't mean cancer
