2nd Opinion?
My annual mammogram revealed a "dense" area that apparently was larger than appeared in last year's. A follow-up ultrasound revealed nothing; then a spot compression was done. The radiologist's report said "exam did not show any definite sign of cancer" with a recommendation of a follow-up in 6 months. Does this mean there's an "indefinite" sign? Do I need a 2nd opinion on this?
I had a mamogram and ultrasound about changes in my left breast by density I went to Mass General for MRI Iam very nerves about I am waiting for the results . density means cancer?
Dear bennyb: From what I am reading, it sounds as though there is a density but not one that has "cancerous" characteristics. You should certainly discuss this with your doctor and consider an opinion with a breast surgeon if you are not comfortable with the explanation and the recommendations.
