Biopsy needed?

[clynec]

I recently just had my Mammogram and after 2 tries and 2 ultrasounds they found scattered fibroglandular densities 25- 50% glandular.  Small vague density seen in superior portion left breast measuring 3 mm in size.  Ultrasound revealed 4 - 5 mm hypoechoic rounded nodule with low level internal echoes. a smaller 4mm comples septated cyst is seen near the region as well. Bi-Rads category 3.  Will my surgeon automatically want to do a biopsy of this.  I do feel one of them under my left nipple.  I have had a biopsy done before that was a fibroadenoma.  My mother and aunt are breast cancer survivors.  My mother had to have a bilateral mystectomy done.  Any opinions on whether I should automatically request the biopsy or just wait....

I understand your worry but am sure that if your doctors, or the radiologist was even the slightest bit concerned, they would recommend further scans and/or biopsy.

I think it is OK to  tell your doctor about the way you are feeling, but I really think he/she knows in this case what is the right thing, or not to do.

I would follow their advice but  ask questions until you feel more confident. You do have a right to a second opinion of course but to me their judgement sounds right.
I hope you feel better soon, one way or another. It's very scary when you have a mother and/or other family members who had bc, I know. There is nothing wrong with you or inappropriate for worrying, that is natural.
