What Is The Result Of Mammogram?
I am a 44 year old woman going through peri menopause. I had a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound last week. The result of the mammogram was BI- RADS 3. the sonogram says there is a sharply demarcated solid nodule in the area of 8 o clock. The nodule is egg shaped and measures 1.7 x 0.7 cm in size. I am going to to a breast surgeon on Monday. Is this just precautionary or something I should really be worried about?

Bi-rads 3 indicates probably benign (not cancer)
But there is a 2 percent chance for cancer.
It means 98 people out of 100 it will be benign.
Meeting a breast surgeon will help you clear that 2 percent doubt. Nothing to worry
