Brief Answer:
No reason for worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

You have sent out your question properly.

The recent two tests, mammogram and ultrasound abdomen are ok. Mammogram is entirely normal while abdomen scan shows gall stones and fatty liver which are seen in many healthy individuals and treatment is not always required.

Further tests would depend upon symptoms faced now. If there are no symptoms, then not to worry.

Hope this helps.
Regards

OK so I'm awaiting further cardiovascular work up. if all goes well I'm facing a bariatric surgery. I have to do this. because of my PAD. my only option for treatment is a bilateral illiac surgery. as things are that surgery only gives me a 30% chance of survival. so weight must come off. I'm nervous.
thank you again
