I would get the cysts removed.  If you leave them they can grow and be harder to take out plus with the leaking that can cause infection.  Cysts can cover other problems up too like if there is a small nodule behind them that can't easily be seen on a mammogram.  Best to get them taken care of. I'm not sure why you have a wait might have to be approved by insurance or something but I would call the dr Monday to find out what is happening.

It's not quite clear to me what kind of appointment you are waiting for since you state that you had a Mammogram and Ultrasound. It does take a considerable amount of time to get an appointment with a Surgeon if that's what you are talking about. I certainly would NOT even think about not keeping the appointment when you do get it. Bleeding from the breast should always be investigated until the cause is found as it can be an indication of something serious but can always be treated.  Regards ...
