hypoechoic lesion

I am a 45 yr old female that had a breast ultrasound done and a a hypoechoic lesion about .6 x .5 was found at 1:00 position in the right breast. I It does not demonstrate clear through-transmission. It is lobulated and outlined, has fine internal echoes and it's wall is minimally irregular. No intramural soft tissue nodule seen. My breast have many lumps and cysts and very dense tissue so mammograms are often hard to see well. Alll the other cyst are well defined and regular shaped w clear fluid. My mother had same problems and one finally came out cancerous in her early 40's, but not in lymphs. She also had it come back over  10 yrs later in her lung. The radiologist thought I could wait 2mo and have it rechecked at that time since it is so small. I don't know if I feel comfortable waiting and wondered about another opinion to see if I should try and have a biopsy or removal now.

Thanks, I already had another opinion from a specialist. After looking at it with radiology, they said it needs an ultrasound guided core biopsy as soon as possible. I just wish I understood what this appeared to be since none of them could identify it. The stress of not knowing is very difficult and I believe many clinics forget how this affects the patients and families. It is what they deal with every day and is routine; but it is anything but routine for the patient.

Dear iowafan,  If you are uncomfortable waiting having a second opinion with a breast specialist to evaluate is an option for you.  They would want to have all films and reports so they can compare to this current result.
