when radiologist write a report do they put suspicious or worrisome right away in the report the radiologist did not say any of these words did not even mention mass just said subcenter 3mm assemtry with 2 mm calcification in retroareaolar area need more views. If she thought it was suspicious would she write those words in the report now before the extra views? I AM SO WORRIED all my previous mammogram where always normal I'm making myself sick over this. would you be so kind to explain.

thank you. If it gets bigger what do they do if it stays smaller what do they do. I am trying to be procative with this. I don't want to have breast cancer down the road if this could be prevented.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Yes, As I've already mentioned earlier as well...This cyst is too small to worry about it.
However, it’s not collapsed. In my opinion, you should have it followed up by your doctor after 6 months...Please, don't be so worried.
