My 69 year old mother received this report and has been scheduled for biopsy on June 12. I'm not sure I quite understand some of the terminology and was wondering if you could provide some interpertation?
"There is an asymetrical density noted in the axillary tail region of the right breast."...
also..."With spot compression, the area persist and appears spiculated and there are suspicious microcalcifications in this location. 1.5 cm in size.
Also, "BIRADS 4
Any help would be appreciated. This is the first encounter with breast cancer that I have ever had, and I am trying to understand everything, to be able to help my mother understand.
Thank you in advance,
Lynn
