Breast Problem

AROUND THE END OF JAN. I GOT HIT ACCIDENTENTLY IN MY LEFT BREAST. THE FOLLING WEEKEND I FELT A KNOT THERE AND IT WAS SORE. I WENT TO THE DR. AND HAD A BREAST EXAM ,SHE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABNORMAL . I WENT ON FEB.9 AND HAD A MAMMOGRAM DONE. ON MARCH 9, THE CENTER CALLED AND SAID MY DR. WANTED ME TO COME BACK AND HAVE ULTRASOUNDS DONE ON BOTH BREAST. THEY MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR MARCH 30. ON MARCH 11, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DR. AT THAT CENTER THAT SAID THE RESULTS OF MY EXAM INDICATE THAT I MAY HAVE A POTENTIAL BREAST PROBLEM.PROMPT ACTION ON MY PART WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE CHANCE OF FUTURE BREAST PROBLEMS.THEY COMPARED THIS MAMMOGRAM TO A MAMMOGRAM I HAD DONE ABOUT 8 OR 9 YEARS AGO. I HAVE NO BREAST CANCER IN MY FAMILY,I HAVE 5 CHILDREN ALL LIVING, FIRST CHILD AT 18.
MY QUESTION IS DO YOU THINK I MAY HAVE SOMETHING SERIOUS.
UP UNTIL NOW I HAVENT'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY BREAST THAT I KNOW OF. NO LUMPS, NO DISCHARGES ,NO SORENESS.IF IT WAS SOMETHING SERIOUS WHY ARE THEY WAITING SO LONG BETWEEN TELLING ME I NEED ULTRASOUNDS AND THEN BRINGING ME IN 3 WEEKS LATER TO HAVE THEM DONE.

Dear lonecrow,  It is not unusual that a finding on a mammogram may require further evaluation to better interpret the results.   Different tests are used to give different information, and all tests have their limitations.  Your doctor would best be able to discuss with you the findings of the
mammogram and what is meant by the "breast problem" that is being checked out.
