What Does Few Cancer Cells In Right Breast Of Mammogram Indicate?
Hello, I had my regular mammogram two weeks ago and was called back for a diagnostic last week. i This showed a few small cancer cells in my right breast. The radiologist spoke to the doctor who said come back for another diagnostic in six months. It has been 6 days and I am worried sick, I don t know if I will make it through 6 months.............. no history of breast cancer, or indeed cancer in family. I had a benign cyst removed from left breast in 1998. Panic, should I panic, should I relax and wait 6 months?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
But no need to worry much for cancer.
As mammography is only a screening test. It is not the diagnostic test for breast cancer.
So if any suspicious lesion is found which is not able to hit by needle, than follow up mammography after 6 months is advised to see for any change in lesion.
So don't worry, be relax and calm and get done follow up mammography after 6 months.
