5mm cyst, reverting breast

Hello i'm a 34 yr old fem, recently had a mammo, and was called back for an ultrasound of my left breast, the findings were this. Real-time examination of the left breast was performed in the 7 o'clock region and reveals a 5mm cluster of cysts. Correlation with physical size is recommended for further assessment. Certainly if there is a discrepancy in size biopsy should not be deferred on the basis of these benign findings. In additon history on the mammo was that of skin retraction and certainly this cyst does not account for those clinical findings. Skin retraction has to be viewed with some caution. BI-RADS Cat =0, they say I shouldfollow up with my PCP, i'm writing here because it will be 6 weeks before I see my PCP and I just can't wait that long, it's bothersome and i'm worried, please help..
